A photo I took on December 27th, 2002 at 11:49am.... but where?

I believe its on the northside of Brisbane as we were visiting someone out that way and an hour or two later I took a photo of JB Hifi at Chermside, but buggered if I can work out where this is exactly.

Did a lap down Gympie Road using Google Streetview but its not old enough. Nothing looks exactly right anyway.

COULD have been from the southside as we lived in Mount Gravatt at the time, so really anywhere between there and Chermside'ish via main roads I guess.

Apologies for the photo quality. It was 2002. Digital cameras weren't much chop back then.

I've uploaded the original file (and a few from afterwards which are definitely from the Northside, EXIF data shows they were taken a few hours later) here in case another pixel or two can be gleaned from the original: https://www.palad.in/uploads/aussie.zone/mystery-location-2002/

I reckon you've nailed it mate, good one!

The power poles line up perfectly, right down to the slightly jaunty angle of that bottom rung.

If Lemmy had the equivalent of Gold I'd totally guild that post. Dunno what the alternative is... An emoji just doesn't seem to cut it ๐Ÿ†

That was bugging me no end not being able to remember where that was, thanks so much for solving the riddle.
