Notably, the work featured in the artist’s exhibition at the National Gallery of Victoria in 1961, and was first exhibited at the Athenaeum Gallery in a solo exhibition in 1936, with watercolour painter Harold Herbert noting in The Argus, ‘Country roads near Melbourne are among the best of the landscapes.’1 The paintings of roadways which Meldrum undertook during this period, including Olinda Falls Road depicted here, portray different times of day and varying conditions of light and atmosphere; the aim of the painter being to capture the essential beauty of his subject matter through an ordered arrangement of the various elements in their tonal relationship to one another. 1.
