Nazi spies secret meeting in a cellar. Sshh ... don't tell anyone!

I wonder if it was in Ye Olde Crusty Cellars like the KOLN crew -

beachcomber australia haha! That's exactly what I thought, it has that Ye Olde Crusty Cellars feel for some reason.

Those dinners resulted in attendees being "rounded up" and sent to internment camps. Wonder what role the Samuel J Hood studios played? trove.nla.gov.au/ndp/del/article/92664741?searchTerm=Luck...

Dale oh dear, quite a damning report, however, so far in my research there seems to be the general consensus that no solid evidence to confirm that von Luckner was a spy for the Nazi regime.

Some biographical info on C-B-C here (warning - pdf).

I read the bio - and added a tag, "mule." This doesn't appear to be a horse, folks. Mules are smart and long on endurance.

It is a horse- Just because it is ugly doesn't make it a mule. It's ears are too small to be a mule

It's a horse. This horse is a descendant of the horses that the Spanish brought over and is typically called a "cayouse," after the native tribe that used them. Look at some of Remington's works and you will see that most of the Indian and cow ponys of that time were like this pony. A tough breed and hard worker.

This is definitely not a mule -- the tag should be removed. It's a horse that's not especially attractive, but not necessarily a cayuse either -- just a good, sturdy horse of mixed breed, apparently roan in color. Frankly as long as the "mule" tag is removed the breed doesn't much matter.

Rustic looking dining spot.

Fascinating dinner - as miniopterus said "rustic looking dining spot" with a waiter no less. Almost looks like a clandestine political meeting.

Dale Corinneski It is quite rustic looking, we're thinking it was taken at Ye Olde Crusty Cellars in Sydney. See this photo:

They certainly had spruced it up by the time I visited Ye Olde Crusty Cellar in the late 60s/early 70s if that is so. Here is a pic from the State Library of NSW with Leo Buring who owned the Cellars [acms.sl.nsw.gov.au/item/itemLarge.aspx?itemID=43925]

Corinneski Thanks for the link! It appears that photograph was taken in a different part of the bar. See also these photographs, which were taken earlier in 1933, from our collection:
