It would be a good picture to step into and spend a night in but i bet coles and woolworths are shut. looks like good days, everyone is out in town but no traffic. Title: Re: QUEEN ST MALL 1960s Post by: Johns on June 01, 2007, 07:26:33 AM Great photo Mickus,
D'you reckon it was taken in the 60s? I can't see a post 57 car in the photo, the Chrysler Royal is a 57, Vauxhall a 55/56 and no FCs as far as I can tell. My guess is 1957. What do you think?
