    How this photo was verified

    Source capture-date evidence: 1936-11-18. The source caption and rendered scene identify the named site; the pin marks that site, not a city center. The former depot is now Kurraba Reserve. The council’s reserve map provides the site pin; the wider suburb’s conflicting Wikidata coordinate was rejected. Named historic site. Full location credit within 0.5 km; this is not a surveyed camera position. Display copies are resized and converted to WebP without changing scene content or removing visible writing.
