Another view of the bridge over the Mackintosh River with the "Puppy" pulling a load of ore from Tullah to Farrell Junction.

This is a photograph, not a postcard.

Mike,
Can you tell me if Farrell Junction was the location of the Mt Farrell Post Office or if this is a separate place ?
Pete

[Mike]

Pete
I believe Mt Farrell post office was renamed Tullah c1910. Farrell Siding was railway station with a post office located at the junction of the Tullah tramway and the Emu Bay Railway line. The railway station only opperated as a post office for about 18 months from May 1907. I think it has RRR rating.

Thanks Mike. Makes sense.

It looks like Risdon to me with Mount Direction across the river ...I think one can make out the landing for the Risdon Punt on the far shore too.

..... I can see the name of the vessel on the stern ....have you tried a 1200dpi scan of that bit?

I'm fairly confident that the museum room pictured on the card was at Port Arthur.

This is a Photo Pc of a "North Western Dairy co." truck accident. Anyone have any knowledge as to where??

Cheers Kerry

[cobba]

Milkman with horse and cart . I have no idea as to who ,where, or why. Assistance required PLEASE?

Cheers Kerry

[Mike]

Kerry, re Truck accident card. These cards are by Devonport photographer A W Marshall. I think the location is the old Bass Highwat between Don and Forth.
c1945?
My scan is a slightly different close up view.

This road was probably a main highway. If you look at the telephone lines on the left of the picture you can see that the top four crossarms have trunk lines [as indicated by the distance between each pair of insulators]. The left pair of circuits on the top crossarm look like telegraph lines. The bottom crossarm was normally allocated to local subscribers. The PMG Dept. preferred most trunk routes to follow main highways [or railway lines if there were no suitable roads]. This of course, enabled quicker access to line faults and enabled the bypassers to report any obvious faults such as broken crossarms, twisted pairs of wires, flying insulators, leaning poles etc. etc.

Being a NW Coast lad (well until 1967 anyway), I too think that the spilt milk is on the Bass Highway between Forth and Don.

I have just spent quite a bit of time using TROVE searching 1940s copies of The Advocate and The Examiner but strangely,
the accident doesn't appear to have been reported.

Footnote: It must must be a very 'late' photograph by A.W. Marshall ..... Chris. Long lists his 'dates' as 1896 through to 1940
but adds "possibly later".

Three unknowns. All Tasmanian (I think) Suggestions welcome.

(1) Pile driving during bridge construction. Looks like pine trees in background. No photographers name. card unused. Kodak back.

Nice interesting card which I think is the Ferry "Marana" which sailed to New NorfolK. Name and location would be appreciated.
I do not know this pier with rail lines.
Cheers Kerry

[Ross Ewington]

Lovely photo / group portrait! The location is New Norfolk, the rails would have been for transferring freight from a wagon to a river steamer.

Real photo postcard by Devonport photographer "AW. Marshall. Any clues!!

No clues on reverse of undivided back postcard. Group of people under bridge andlooks like a building in LH side of card.
