Although the W2 Christmas scenes are genuine, the policeman wiping his brow looks staged - back-projected possibly ?The resolution of the film clip is not that good (but then, neither are my eyes !) so the insignia on his helmet is not clear - could be NSW or Victoria Police (Tenez le Droit), and the pith helmet is typical of the era; the service number is high enough to indicate Victoria or NSW, but the lack of shoulders patches does not seem to tally.The post-and-sign safety zone is of a type used for trams in several cities throughout Australia - Melbourne, Sydney, Geelong . . .
Two significant buildings in the background should be able to be identified by locals: the one directly behind the officer appears to be a corner department store, with a name ending in 'folds' (Bakerfolds ?), but again not clear.The other is T&G, however the frame excludes the tower. This cannot be Melbourne, as the T&G is in Collins St (on the South-West corner of Russell St) at the top of the hill from Swanston St, and Collins St has prominent trees along the footpath at that point. Too tall for Geelong, could this be Sydney ?  If so, then 'Ladies in Black'is not so far from the mark.
