That's a good suggestion Pat, I have been looking up and around Ullapool, but not come up with anything yet.

I'm going to display my utter ignorance here - but when did caravan parks start to be in vogue, and would these have been towed caravans or early versions of the long static caravans you have now?

Well OH thinks the church is limestone so it makes him think Derbyshire - So that makes the exotic plants a bit surprising  ::) :)
He thinks the caravans are statics, maybe 50s / 60s.....

I agree they are more than likely statics, they are all the same design, with doors and windows in the same place. If you look at a photo of a touring caravan site, there are multiple styles and shapes.
Is there a building on top of the hill, it looks like a solid block, a castle maybe, it might even have a flag flying.

Hi all, back from our holibobs, youngest has nearly recovered from food poisoning, and the 15 loads of washing has nearly all been done..........

I have scanned the portion of the photo with the caravans and the possible castle.  I think that the castle is in fact a rocky outcrop - what do you think?

Well, now that you have scanned it ..... the cabins don't seem to have chimneys .... so could be AUSTRALIA .... and the Rocky outcrop yes, it is a natural feature, not a built one.

I will ask around in my family....

fingers crossed.

Cheers,  JM

Yes, actually I was.  Are you a mind reader  ;D

I will be up that way (actually on the coast, Cairns) on the Oct long weekend, this year.  Hopefully we can get back up and into Ravenshoe etc to get some photos if this has not been solved by then.   We need to visit family at both Mareeba and Smithfield .... so fingers crossed.
