Already an accomplished water-colour painter, he was granted 2560 acres, allocated at Mill's Plains on the northern slope of Ben Lomond. He built his house on the Nile River, naming his property Patterdale. It was here that Glover produced many of his most famous landscapes. Highly prolific, he is remembered as one of the most accomplished painters of the early Australian colonial period.
