Terry, if it's any help I reckon 5 and possibly 6 were taken at Catalina Park.

And the more I look at the one of Pete in the 23 the more I'm convinced it's at Lowood.

This is very unusual as I don’t think I have ever heard him referred to as other than “Jim”

Seems very American.


Terry,
I think it was much more than "very American."

Ray, as I noted in post#179 I believe the photo of Geoghegan in the 23 is at Lakeside because I can’t see any other photos that Bruce Wells took at Lowood.

Terry, I can't think of anywhere at Lakeside where that scene could exist...

The competition cars in the background with people sitting down at the fence, ostensibly to watch the racing, the apparent direction of the car's travel all add up to a difficult scene to fit in with Lakeside.

Stuart Kostera raced after the shots were taken. He was from Western Australia.
