Can anyone identify the location of this real photo postcard? The card was posted from Hobart, 7/12/09 to a Miss Chesterman, Hobart. The letter does not give any clues to the location in the photo. There are clues in the photo which I hope someone will recogise. There is a railway line where the children are standing and water tanks just to the left. Shop behind tanks has sign "Wallet ?????". Store in the middle has " ?armonts Stores" Store on the right has " ??? Country ????? G News". Note the distinct Greek / Roman style building top right side.

Miss Chesterman was daughter of Henry Chesterman, Timber Merchant of Hobart and Southport. The home Henryville still stands.
Location could be NSW as I believe the Chesterman's had relatives there.
