I should off looked a bit harder! The answer was in my own collection.

Lake Balmoral, Western Tiers. Spurling postcard Number 265.

Can anyone identify this view of a frozen central highland lake. Is it Little Pine Lagoon ?
Real photo by Spurling. I think it is posted in 1908, to Spain.

Yes, They all appear to be Spurling "productions".

With regards to Welling. In the 1913 Tasmanian PO Directory, Miss F.M. Welling is listed as a bookseller, Main Street Zeehan. So it appears that E.M. Welling is wrong! ??

A quick search has not found any reference to J.C.Ralph. I have found reference to a F.C.Ralph who was a Hairdresser in Ulverstone. More research needed !

I have only seen 2 cards from this series. My 5 cards are all postally used in 1906.

Interestingly one of the cards has "Series F 1905 J.Walch & Sons, Wellington Bridge, Hobart" printed on the back of the card.

Have scanned an example used for political purposes.

Embossed in the lower right corner on the picture side is the name "E.Finch". It is rather hard to see in the scan. On the back of the card E.Finch has written a few details. I have been unable to find any information on this photographer. Can you help with any information? scan0643.jpg scan0644.jpg

Have found out who Fred was! Fredrick (Fred) Alfred Hooker was Stephen Hookers son. It would seen that Fred was using his fathers real photo postcards. The following information was found on the " AIF Project" website. https://www.aif.adfa.edu.au/showPerson?pid=142359 Frederick Alfred HOOKER Regimen...

He was appointed Treasurer on 7 July 1908 and delivered lectures to the Club on negatives; snapshots of Sydney and methods of prospecting for gold,coal and tin via a lantern slide lecture. H...

Re Stephen Hooker I have a Waratah postcard dated 15/8/06 from the same correspondence as John C. No name markings on the front, but is signed "Fred Hooker Waratah Tas." The same person? Is Stephen Fred?? The Tasmanian Post Office directory 1904 lists Stephen Hooker as a miner. The 1913 directory li...

Re Nietta Falls Postcard The photographer is G.P.Taylor from Ulverstone, not Matthew Brown. Compare the hand writing on the Falls card to my scans.

Ross, thankyou for all the information regarding the funeral procession postcard.

Here is an enlargement.

Could it be the back view of a tin concentrating building? At least 3 levels, appears to have a sloping roof on other side (see left side). A feed race or walk way on level 3 right side?

Ideas??

Can anyone identify this small settlement? Someone has written Lottah on the back, but I don't think it is. See other scan.
Card is unused, no photographers name. It certainly could be in the North East. What is the large two storied building?

Both the 1904 and 1913 Tasmanian Post Office Directories both list "Crump and Dalgleish" as storekeeper, DOVER.

Can anyone identify this Battleship? This is DIC photo 173 Elizabeth St Hobart. Photo is of a rather poor quality and appears to be a copy of another photo.
Card is unused with a Kodak back.

Train derailment, Doctors Rocks near Wynyard 1934 x3
Roland Railway Station (near Sheffield) c1950? x2

This is the Farrell Concentrating Mill (Tullah). This card is dated 1907. Could your picture be a later photograph of an updated and expanded mill? The bush behind the mill and the lay of the hill looks similar. I have another real photo card of another unknown mill. Where is this one? I am sure it ...
