Periodontal panic took over prior to an event last week that cost me a smallish fortune. Thankfully I live in the city and relief is close by.
A century ago Maude Lankester lived in Ettamogah outside Albury, a border town 343 miles / 552 km from Sydney. This card tells something of the help available in country towns far from the city centres in those days.
It looks quite civilised!
(It must be pre World War I because of the reference to Germanton, see below.)

Associated place:
Germanton “was originally called Ten Mile Creek and the first buildings erected in 1836. A German immigrant, John Christopher Pabst, became the publican of the Woolpack Hotel on 29 July 1840 and the area became known as "the Germans". By 1858 the name had evolved into the official name of Germanton, though the postal area retained the name Ten Mile Creek. In 1876 the name Germanton was gazetted and the old name Ten Mile Creek consigned to history.
Ten Mile Creek Post Office opened on 1 January 1857, and was renamed Germanton in 1875. During World War I, the town name was deemed unpatriotic, so on 24 August 1915 the town was renamed Holbrook in honour of Lt. Norman Douglas Holbrook, a decorated wartime submarine captain and winner of the Victoria Cross. Lt. Holbrook commanded the submarine HMS B11”

Hi AUSSIECOOK !!!!
Great to hear from you !!!!
Still think this is really cool us of the postcard medium !!!!!
By the way AUSSIECOOK could you add their names here for me please?
Do you have any ideas about the identity of the others ???
I am not sure of the order of the people except that top left is my grandfather
Walter Powell Wood who married Fanny Ethyl Wood.
The others are James Henry Wood, William Arthur Wood, Alfred Ernest Wood, Francis Charles Wood, John Beauchamp Wood and Ivor LLewellyn Wood. My initial comment was incorrect, these are seven brothers and not my GGF and his brother.
Many thanks for the clarification and the identities .... Much appreciated !!!!
