I worked on this a bit.  I say it is not
Mt. Arakai, Japan.

It's more likely to be India than Australia.
Europe is probably the most likely.

I think study of the artist and their history may
be necessary.  Presumably they came over from England??

When you search modern day place names for 'arakale' you
get the list below.  I checked out most of those and none
of them fit well.  The one that fit the best is
http://maps.google.com/maps?q=40.17401,+43.45574+%28Coordinates%29&iwloc=A&hl=en

For whatever it is worth, this is a plot of the records below.
Most of them are in western Turkey.
They probably have nothing to do with your location.

But your location is probably near a blue shaded area
on these maps (or elsewhere in the world).  If it is in
Australia it is probably on the east coast or in Tasmania:
