Taken from a water tower, in the foreground is the Vic Hotel in Smith Street , now a mall , The Star Theatre across the road , Cashman's Store, still there , and far right is part of the Bank of New South Wales , bombed by the Japanese , some damage seemingly apparent . Cavenagh Street is the parallel road in which the two storey building could be what became the Don Hotel with its infamous Bamboo Lounge in the l950s. Behind the building , slightly to the right at the back of the snap, could be the Chinese temple , looted during the war .
