This artwork by Robert Marchant achieved an unexpectedly high price at Christies in London in December 2012. In the Peter Langan: A Life with Art auction, the work The Great Ferry Boat Race as witnessed from Milson's Point, North Sydney in the year of 1986 sold for GBP 8,125.00 (€ 10,020.38) - well above the upper estimate of GBP 3,000.00.
