Definitely Australian - in fact NSWGR and it looks like a C36.  As to the location I don't know, the C36s moved around various routes as electrification spread

A reverse image search on google confirms that it is a C36 and it is the Newcastle Express approaching Hornsby on 03 March 1946. .  The photo is held in the NSW State archives but has been posted on Facebook.  No wonder I didn't recohgnise Hornsby - it doesn't look at all like that nowadays ;)  (And it over 16 years since I went over that piece of railway.)
