That took a little while to find out that it was Gloucester; follow the highways with Google street view...ha ha!

This may be a bit obscure so I'll tell you that it is a railway station in Australia

That is the place Dick0!

Terowie, South Australia, was an important railway stop due to changing rail gauges and it is possibly most famous (locally) for being the short rest stop for General Douglas MacArthur on his way across Australia. It is in Terowie that he first said "I shall return", when speaking of the Phillipines.

Over to you Dick0.

Hi DickO,
Brisbane and its river with the photo taken from around the South Bank area. Easy ID for this Brissie person.

With the sunset, obviously we looking west but not WA. We were nearly in the middle, on a coast of course.

Here is another photo clue.  Daylight photo taken a few metres away from the sunset photo.  Obviously, my van is not visible in the daylight pic.20240406_130955.jpg

 Not Glenelg Jetty.  Glenelg Jetty is in St Vincents Gulf.

The jetty in the photo is in Spencer Gulf.

Summarising the clues so far:
-The sunset photo indicates which way the jetty is facing.
-Overlooking Spencer Gulf in SA.

So, I'm not up with SA jetties, and it's not the Busselton one.

Is it the Kirton jetty.

The SA jetties that I have visited on the Yorke Peninsula that are in Spencers Gulf are:
-Point Turton
-Port Victoria
-Port Hughes
-Moonta Bay
-Wallaroo
-Port Broughton

There is at least one more jetty on that side that I have not visited.

So one from my list is the answer.

Thanks.  Where would you find this hall?  We loved to "donation" camp at this spot.  Cheers

This hall is in Qld. This photo was taken back in September, but I think I also had a photo of it quite some time back.
