My guess is it is the WAITARA Built:1966 10,715GRT 13.200 DWT
156m x 21.3m Operated by Transatlantic Rederi AB, Sweden.
Is the date of your photo correct? If so, this may not be the vessel!

(The clue was the davit in the foreground. Mundoora had no such davit, but Kooringa did. That definitely makes it 1967)
The date would be between January and August 1967...my time on Kooringa.
Seems to strengthen the case for "Killara".

That photo was taken from 'Mundoora'. I served on her between January and June 1965...(Just checked my Discharges).

Tere are 2 more Transatlantic ships, the Talarah and Woolahra, both built in 1967, without any mast, only with cranes. They could it be from the shape, but as well they are built too late for 1965.
