Thanks,tony. Those all seem viable constructions.

Anyone able to identify any of the others?

The last one (#10) seems to be 'MOUNT -------N.'

Thanks, everybody. That leaves just two, #4 (which I actually thought would be the easiest) and #7.

7 could be Lorne, but 4 is too faint for my old eyes at that size

jubilee, thanks, Lorne seems to be the one.

As for #1, it can only be Kirkstall or Tunstall, because Westall did not get a post office until 1960.

4. Rodburgh

is my best guess as it appears to me to have 10 letters for symmetry and Newborough didn't open until 1942

If you think it could have 11 letters then other candidates could be Maryborough and Neilborough.

Thanks for the suggestions, nigelc!

Here's another difficult one. It looks to me like it would be something like 'MOUNT (or POINT) HOUSECANE.'



This time I'm including some close-ups for those with older, weaker eyes!

Just a quick question: is there a placename in Victoria that ends in 'ENISH'?
