"Watering Party Attacked by Natives in South West Bay Goulburn Island" is an artwork created by Philip Parker King, an early 19th-century British explorer and naval officer. King is renowned for his extensive surveys and explorations of the Australian coastline, which significantly contributed to the mapping and understanding of the region during that period. This particular work is a visual representation of an incident that occurred during one of King's exploratory voyages.

The artwork depicts a dramatic and tense moment when a group of King's crew members, who had gone ashore to collect fresh water, were suddenly attacked by Indigenous Australians. The scene captures the chaos and urgency of the encounter, with the crew members hastily defending themselves against the unexpected assault. The composition of the piece reflects King's keen observational skills and his ability to convey the intensity of such encounters, which were not uncommon during the early days of European exploration in Australia.

King's works, including "Watering Party Attacked by Natives in South West Bay Goulburn Island," are valuable historical documents that provide insight into the interactions between European explorers and Indigenous populations. They also offer a glimpse into the challenges and dangers faced by explorers during their voyages. While King's primary legacy lies in his contributions to maritime navigation and cartography, his artistic endeavors, such as this painting, add a personal and human dimension to the historical narrative of exploration.

The artwork is also significant for its portrayal of Indigenous Australians, although it must be viewed within the context of its time. The depiction reflects the perspectives and biases of early 19th-century European explorers, which can differ markedly from contemporary understandings and representations of Indigenous cultures. As such, King's work serves as both a historical artifact and a point of reflection on the complexities of cultural encounters during the age of exploration.
