Photograph, Reid's Coffee Palace, Lydiard Street, Ballarat, c1930s ?

Historical information

The special guest in the car appears to have arrived in Ballarat by train. Could it be William Birdwood to plant trees in the Ballarat Avenue of Honour? There is a band in the background. Note the folded back roof which allows the passenger to be seen by the public.
