Their usual residence was 4 Vivian Grove, Hawthorn (another Melbourne suburb) when James died in 1965 and Florence in 1971. (Florence's sister Mary Louisa also died there in 1965.)

I don't know who these folk are. My first thought was Teddy Cook visiting some other branch of the family, but the little I can see of him doesn't look much like young Mr Cook. Not to mention the fact that I can't match the handwriting with anyone else. However, I've put him here for want of any better place.

	"This is Jack and Teddy: and the day after I took this the water went over the top of the heap of wood also covered the two jinters[?] you see under the tree so you will see how close the water came to the house"		"Jack and Teddy again in another part of the flood ..s is the best I got of ... flood to the right of ..s the water was ..r feet deep and was very wide hear."

	"This is Teddy, Jack & May Nixon[?] sitting on a bit of a bridge made by the boys that is only a bit of flood and the embankment you see was all washed away. The one with the cross is Teddy."		"This is another part of the flood"

	"This is a load of wheat ready to be taken to the station. There are 200 bags in this load"

Wheat and a flooded river suggests somewhere up the Murray/Darling Basin.
