With so little to go on, it's very hard to say where exactly Kinder was positioned in 1868, but it seems that he must have been somewhere near the top of Parnell Rise as seen in the 2021 image.
The version above of Kinder's original is a later copy made by James Richardson. Below is a version from the Hocken Collections.
