    beachcomber australia Thank you for your suggestion beachcomberaustralia. We also thought it may be the area around St Mary's Cathedral, where Hospital Road and Art Gallery Road meet.

    Good find - just in time for WW1 centenary. This was on Tuesday 18 August 1914.

    ps - I was completely wrong with the location (see above comments). It is as described it the blurb. GoogleMapsStreetView - goo.gl/maps/w3RxC . See the sandstone pillars. I wonder if Mr Hood? was on the verandah of the just-built (1914) Captain Cook Hotel - goo.gl/maps/aeeDi

    [http://www.flickr.com/photos/51979177@N02] Good things happen in the wee small hours ... It's good to know the date 18 August 1914 - right at the beginning of WW1, when "it'll all be over by Christmas" was the prevailing thought.
