This pic was evidently taken on 22nd February, 1927, when the Australian Commonwealth Band returned to Sydney on the S.S. Marama. The location was evidently the Margaret St wharf, Darling Harbour...

trove.nla.gov.au/newspaper/article/223475425 - the pic was used in an advert for the band that appeared in the Sydney Sun on 23rd February 1927...

trove.nla.gov.au/newspaper/article/117696928 - Truth, 23rd February, 1927...a cut and paste version of the pic also appears here...
