Well, we're in the right part of Sydney. It's only a matter of time before we run out of suburbs.

maybe they've just been flown in and that's a photo at Sydney Airport, Rose Bay.

You mean the Ansett flying boat base Rose bay and I didn`t think they had a TD4 Leyland Titan about that time.

Rushcutters Bay?

No

Correct. As the original source had it:

Sydney, NSW. 1945-09-16. members of 8th Division, ex-POWs of the Japanese, arrived at Rose Bay from Singapore by Catalina flying boats. Major General E. C. P. Plant, general officer commanding, NSW lines of communication area and a huge crowd welcomed them. from the flying base the men travelled in buses to 113rd general hospital for their medical examination. Shown, the cheering crowds that lined the bus route.

Over to you............

OK, well, I don't have a photo (at least of anything interesting or recognisable). But ages ago I did talk to Leopard1543 about how he should use the following photo for "Where Is It". He said would like to use it but he was unable to post it here. So I will post it. If there is a problem I will withdraw it:



The caption that goes with the photo is "A freshly overhauled 2018 is seen en route at Bondi bound for the North Bondi terminus, May, 1986", but where?

boronia certainly ought to know at least.

[ALBION1881]

Mitchell st North Bondi.

[hornetfig]

Mitchell st North Bondi.

Nope.

[ALBION1881]

Queen st Wollahra.

Queen st Wollahra.

nup. You were very close with your previous guess. This one is cold.

[hornetfig]

I have no idea how fotopic generates these links but the image appears to be dead today. I'll attach it here.

2018.jpg

But seeing as today is day 5 and no one is interested, I'll post the answer anyway: 2018 is on Glenayr Ave, North Bondi. All outbound 389s used to use the full length of Glenayr Ave through Bondi Beach and North Bondi. Now all services use Mitchell Street in North Bondi (Albion's first guess) instead.

So, open floor.

Easiest Where Is It of all time

[Frances]

Well, it might be difficult for someone who doesn't know Sydney, as it isn't very easy to read the "MarketCity" sign,,,,,,,,,,,,

[Frances]

I suppose that's what I get for typing something without my glasses on - a row of commas instead of full stops.................

[ALBION1881]

Haymarket just near Dixon st.

[Muttley]

Haymarket just near Dixon st.

Got it

[ALBION1881]

I`ll pass on this someone can have ago.

[Frances]

All right then, here's another easy one, let's see how long it will last..............

[shovelyjoe]

Mona Vale?

Nope...........

Chalmers Street, (Surry Hills, Redfern or Strawberry Hills - whichever is the correct suburb or location) near corner of Cleveland Street, outside Cleveland Street Intensive English School and just about 50 metres from STA Corporate Office.
