Bob Strong The post mark is upside down if you look carefully and there are hills in the background..
Evan Simpson I think it's looking east
Steven Griffiths Wow!

Terry Harding Probably from a reversed negative; remember the days when actual film was used in actual cameras. I'd say it
Terry Harding Grrrr!. Hitting wrong keys gets me keyed up. That was meant to say the view was almost definitely eastward as hills can be seen to the right of the tower.

June Williams I think it is looking east along Weld Street.

Cheryl Johnston Must be with mountains in the background.

Cheryl Smeaton Could it be North on Tancred? I can't see the railway line or the station, which would be east on Weld. There are hills and clouds, I'm not seeing mountains - that big palm tree - no St Mary's though.

Alister Creamer Power poles being erected. When did Hoki get electricity?Glenn Johnston
You can see the bigger exotic pines that once surrounded Cass Square in the background. They had already attained a fair size by 1905.

It was made mostly from donations and originally planned to be a chiming clock but the funds fell a wee bit short which is how it ended up with the bell.
