Photo is believed to have been taken in North Queensland where A29-625 joined 82 Squadron before being deployed to Papua New Guinea. This photo is from the Northern Territory library and while 82 Squadron had been in the Territory very briefly, A29-625 is shown as being delivered after the squadron moved to North Queensland. The aircraft ended up at Labuan, Borneo, where it was scrapped in January 1946. Photo from: Library and Archives NT
