Photo Mystery - Cultural Collections, UON Library at the University of Newcastle

Here’s a mystery for our intrepid historian colleagues.
We would like to know something about the soldier in this photo.(see https://www.flickr.com/photos/uon/39735029291)  Unfortunately, time and other hazards have obscured his face, but we are hoping that someone out there on the Internet may be able to identify his regiment or other army group. We have uploaded a 1200 DPI scan of the full photo to our Flickr site – https://www.flickr.com/photos/uon/39735029291 and 4800 DPI scans showing detail of his shoulders and calves in the hope these may help in the identification.
If you can identify the uniform or unit, please contact archives@newcastle.edu.au
