  There's a great big eagle perched on the porch (thanks megazoom). In the French photo too.

  beachcomber australia I'd be nearly sure that this is that same eagle It's up the road at the entrance to Eagle Lodge which was once the hotel owners house.

  This photo could possibly have been taken before gas lighting was available in the area. The French photo has a gas light over the portal. When was gas (gasworks) available in the area?
