Now a real challenge is to try and work out what town that is, and yes I know there’s probably thousands of towns it could be.
Thinking caps on( and at present I’ve got NFI).
Strewth, it's got me stumped too.
The clue ".... in Australia" doesn't give much away.

Don’t go away TF, you may win the steak knives by default.
Grainy picture quality makes ID very hard, if not impossible.

That’s McGooleys Hill, now you’re talking TO. Was ,and still is, a lovely part of the world. Nice easy ferry ride to the Quay.

Teachers may now be thinking it wasn’t such a bad idea?

Dusters, chalk, whatever a teacher had in their hand at the time would fly at your head. There was no running home and crying to mum.
I once had a teacher send me out of the room as soon as I walked in to class. He said he was "saving himself the time of doing it later".
Ah the good times!

I remember a teacher who would sneak up behind while you were dealing with a complex math problem, and wack you in the back of the head.
A brother who taught me did the same to a kid in tech drawing one day. He whacked the kid on the back with an open hand but didn't know the kid was chewing on the top of his pencil. Poor kid nearly choked on his pencil.

That line must have been in the teachers handbook back in the day, I heard that plenty throughout the years. Often teachers would just say to kids as they walk through the door for class "I don't like your face, get out"
My Geography teacher threw one of those huge wooden chalkboard compass things at a school mate of mine cause he wouldnt shut up. The metal end pierced his arm, nothing happened to the teacher, the kid got 2 weeks of lunch detentions and never opened his mouth again in Mr Smiths class.....the good old days.

Teachers used to be thugs.
Many times I got the cane out in front of the class - usually for something pretty tame, and it was always a tricky situation. You had to show your classmates that you were tough and could handle it whilst not showing the teacher it didn’t faze you. This usually resulted in extra strikes which properly hurt your hand. The cuts.
I always thought I’d one day get revenge on these guys. Never did.
I wonder if any of that scum are still kicking about??🤔

I had a French teacher who used to hit us with a piece of garden hose inside a football sock. It had the desired effect of making us hate him, these days he would on his way to jail.
So I dropped French and found another subject.
