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. I have a number of cards in similar hand writing, many with Taylor's stamp or embossed Taylor. Nietta Falls is located behind Ulverstone, Taylor country!

thanks Mike ... I was just guessing :roll:

P.S. the Ulverstone waterfront has certainly changed a bit in 100 years!

The real photo card below "Waterfall Cascade Creek" is by an unidentified photographer.

Although the card was used in S.E. TAS during 1906. I believe these falls to be in N.E. TAS - can anyone confirm this?

[yes, I have tried Google :) ]

"Falls on Mooreville Road" (near Burnie) by Ernest Winter ..... I've never seen an image of this extremely "minor" waterfall before!

Same card by Ernest Winter, but falls are named as Oldaker's. Ross, is this a name that you know? Are the falls still called Oldaker's?
