Zeehan.
Nope, NE (ish) of there.
As a reward for spelling Zeehan correctly, a clue, the water tank was for the adjoining old railway line and has nothing to do with the building(s) with the river meandering along side. [bigsmile1]

Hi.
Could be Deloraine, but I've not seen that setting.
Cheers
I first thought Don River Railway , but it looks different somehow, perhaps in light of the answers so far its worth a mention.
Here's a view from a different angle.

To win the prize town, river (check previous clue) and the buildings original purpose is required [bigsmile1]
Austastar is the closest so far, no it's not the Don river railway.

Definitely Deloraine , an old water mill, this one from the park by the Meander River with the old steam locomotive
Cheers
Good enough Austastar. [bigsmile1]
Not your average water mill though, originally a hydro power station when it opened in 1907. It has also served as a maternity hospital later in the 20th century before being privately owned and is now a residence with its own rebuilt power generation equipment.
Over to you Austastar for the next location.
Deano :)
That's not a real picture, you've lifted that off a jigsaw puzzle box. [wink11]Quote:

I wish I could take credit for the picture but it's one of SWMBO's taken on Christmas Day last year. We had a family Christmas picnic on the banks of the Meander River which runs right through the town. A beautiful venue, excellent weather and good company. The park alongside the river is a credit to the people of Deloraine and well worth a visit.Quote:

Quite oblivious to the many people enjoying their day by the river this little fellow cruised up and down for several hours to the delight of all.
My understanding is that the power station originally provided power for the town.
