The car is probably an English make and of the mid 1930s to immediate pre-war styling. Can't get enough definition to determine much about the 2 trucks but I'd estimate them to be somewhere between late 30s thru to 50s so that gives the earliest this photo could be of mid 1930s. What memories of driving around country NSW the white paint topped posts and wire mesh fence on the slopeside of the road bring back.

Thats a rather well built road. Also hillier than most of the roads around Wagga. I think it might be the Hume Highway somewhere between Gundagai and Holbrook, several places look like that.

Museums of History NSW - State Archives Collection Each time I browse through Series 4481 (my favourite) I find more and more wrong descriptions, bad or mis-spelled titles (so that the images cannot be found in searches), and obvious errors. I wish there was a simple way to fix them up, but via flickr is ok for now.

beachcomber australia I will pass your comment along to those working with Photo Investigator. AB
