Annelise looks like you nailed it. You can see the house in the foreground in this photo here if you open the larger size. There's the distinctive rooftop and the little brick hut next to it. funny I wondered if it was around Garden Terrace.

Excellent - thanks for your help Annelise.

These show up on the 1924 map, on the southern (upper) portion of the land that now houses Estoril Court. You can just see Bowen Road in the background if you zoom in to this photo.
