Can you date this photograph? [Kendall St, Cowra]

A moment in time…..

This photograph is from NRS12932 Original Prints of Photographs used in NSW trains. The photographs were used to decorate the carriage interiors of country trains.

This photograph shows a very busy downtown Cowra with parking spots at a premium. Some business names can be seen as well as a number of models of  cars. We are hoping that all these clues will help reveal the time period when this photograph was taken. If you look closely you can see crowds of well dressed people congregrating on the footpath….I wonder if this was a typical day in Cowra or was it a special occasion?
