Hi Everyone, I have been asked for help in identifying a photograph of a town, believed to be in Gippsland. Given the collection that it came from, it is believed to be at least pre 1960, and shows industrial works with a large number of nearby houses on either side of a street. Hopefully you can see the picture at http://kapana.blogspot.com/2005/04/can-you-identify-this-town.html and there is a link there where you can access a much larger copy. Any suggestions would be welcome, as it has a few of us baffled. Thanks! Linda

I think it is some sort of works camp with huts rather than houses. A lot of large concrete pipes in picture. Could it be a dam construction site. Steam shovel loading skips, must be pre WW2. Maybe excavating material for a dam wall.

Good start - it is not Glenmaggie, talking of dams. The houses on the lest look like "houses' of the sort at mills at the time - for families. The ones on the right appear a little more like single quarters. But they do appear more "permanent" than transitory. There are three water tanks in the distance - I wonder were they at a railway station??? Any other thoughts, anyone???
