Does anyone recognise this location (poss Melbourne) please?

This is  "McCaughey House" Yanco Agricultural High School NSW built about 1900 (or maybe a bit before) there are certainly similarities in style.

From the top photo, I'd say it was a country town or a suburban area.
Note also the deep (relatively) gutter which indicates somewhere where it rains heavily.

He's wearing a 3 piece suit - or a jumper/sweater under his coat - so I don't think it's north Queensland         

Good point MAJM re western NSW post offices.

Hi

He looks to have a Panama hat and when were they in fashion?

Thanks everyone for your help.  We thought we knew who the man was but with the new date of maybe 1920s we were clearly wrong.  Most of us are guilty of not marking our photos on the back (because of course we know who the people are!).  We'll keep searching for more clues.  All the best
