In 1952, the Launceston Walking Club had a Christmas Trip from Butlers Gorge to Kallista (start of the Port Davey Track, near Maydena), via The Spires, Prince of Wales Range, and Gordonvale. A magnificent trip, documented in 150 slides by Lindsay Crawford. I may turn it into an AV at some stage.
What intrigues me are the last two slides. All slides in the series are labelled "Xmas 1952", as are the two below, but they seem out of place because they show buildings. But they are definitely labelled Xmas 1952. The only place I thought they might have been taken was at Kallista, at the start of the Port Davey Track. Ryletts Hut was there at the time, and I imagined maybe there were other buildings nearby.
Any suggestions as to where these two slides were taken?
The first slide shows people washing clothes in a creek, people whom appear in other slides in the series. I assume the creek is somewhere near Kallista or Maydena.
The second slide shows what looks like a town. The building on the right has a sign that says "Waratah". The lettering won't be clear on the image below, but is clearly discernible on the original.
