I know, but the commenter I replied to is obviously American and I didn't want to just outright tell them, and thought it was more polite to just let the implication hang there.
My guess is the photo is from Australia. The load on the roof implies it, and it kind of looks like Inskip Point, getting onto the Fraser Island ferry.
I could be way off and it's somewhere completely different. But it's a memorable vibe and part of the world I obv won't forget.
