In the distance on the hill to the left of centre is the new St Mary's Catholic Church, corner of Main Road and Henry Street, Eltham (blessed 13 October 1912, later destroyed by fire in 1961). Just below the church, Shillinglaw Cottage is visible with two of the Shillinglaw trees partially obscuring the church. Photograph believed to have been taken just west of the present-day Catholic Ladies College carpark in the Inez Avenue Park region with Diamond Street running up hill behind the fence in middle of picture.
