Hi Julie
I can tell you for sure it was 1967. I am the guy in the white towelling hat....... next to me is my mate Noel Lelievre who lived I think in Hazelwood Crescent. We were cricket mates from that period. We were asked by a photographer to walk across the street a few times for photos. ONe other of those with just the two of us was published in a book I think called Brown Power or something like that. It was a hardback with a white cover. I have one somewhere in the home archives.

Hope that is some help.

Hi Shane - that's terrific - thanks. I have Brown Power too. Out of all the photos I've seen over the years, I've never seen one as good as this - probably cos it's staged. Amazingly enough, I came across the other colour photo (with W Station in the background) on the same day as this one...and although several years between the two photos, they were taken from almost exactly the same place.
