Rswett, it looks to me like it might be a Cheoy Lee 32 without a flybridge. One of our other Aussie members, (AllanY), has one of those, but I think if it is a Cheoy Lee, it will be the 32, not 34, albeit one of the largest 32 footers on the planet. I remember falling in love with one many years ago before my wife put her foot down and insisted on a sedan/Euaropa type with aft cockpit rather than aft cabin, hence our Clipper 34 in the end winning out. It just took longer to find one as they were rare back in 1975, whereas they are nearly all that type new now.
I suggest you do a search for AllanY - might be AlanY - can't remember the boat name. You might be best to PM him, as he has not posted for quite a while. Wait on, I think I have a PM from him, let's see....
Yes, here's a link to him, you willl be able to see a pic of his boat at least, but he might not be watching out for PMs...

Hang on a minute - maybe this could be why he has not posted for a while - I think this is his boat on the market - doubt there would be more than one Cheoy Lee 32 at Tin Can Bay, and that is where she was moored...so here is one anyway - how does it compare if you lopped off the flybridge..? Certainly the characteristic Cheoy Lee added bit of topsides above the rub rail at the bow is missing on yours, but it is almost like a sort of add-on...
Actually, to be honest, it looks more like a CHB 34 aft cabin minus flybridge to me now I see both to compare.
