The Home of Photos in Dunnunda! Mk II
Just an observation, but the student was trimming for the landing but not trimming during the climb, might explain the low nose attitude the instructor was concerned about. As an instructional tool though the go-pro looks like a positive step forward.
Quite a distance... They are not aligned nose to nose.
The angle of this particular shot makes them look very close.
Just like when the Roulettes go head to head, they are off to the side and waggle wings when passing to give the impression they are being daring stuntmen :-)

They use a pair of special Squirrels for those displays.
One has a rotor blade that rotates in the opposite direction to normal. That means that when they cross, head-on, the blades on both helicopters are moving in the same direction relative to each other.
There's also some nifty technology to synchronise the blade positions so that they 'mesh' rather than collide. I think they call it a 'Thronosynchrophaser".

Reef tour from Cairns Aiport. Highly Recommended

It's a stab but looks like southern cross on the left side, VH -USU. The link below shows a photo collection from 1927/1928 of a flight around australia. There is a photo there at Essendon surrounded by a hoard of people but no tell tale buildings. Image 33 of 59.

Essendon Airport Welcomes aviation pioneer Sir Charles Kingsford-Smith
One of the largest crowds ever seen in Melbourne assembles at Essendon Airport to welcome aviation pioneer Sir Charles Kingsford-Smith (15th October, 1933)." It may not be his plane in the picture though.
The next pic is dated 1936 with a wider angle shot to the one above stating Ansett commences operations so it might be in the ball park?
