A 1980 painting A waterfall (Strath Creek) by Australian artist William Delafield Cook that won that year's Wynne Prize identified the painting's influence as "I found the spot where he had sat to do his drawing … The waterfall was almost exactly as it was in von Guérard's picture. He was at Strath Creek on 14 January 1862; I was there 23 January 1980."[5]
A 1989 work by artist Imants Tillers titled Untitled (Deaf) used Waterfall, Strath Creek to address "the vexed issue of Australian identity"[4]
