    I believe that this photograph was taken on what is today called Queenscliff beach. North Head reserve, Manly is the promontary at right background with a glimpse of the South Head of Sydney Harbour to the left of and behind North Head.

    BobMeade I reckon it is Coogee! Field trip and beachcomb to both locations required!

    I think the title is WRONG too. Using the excellent new Zoom at the Persistent URL, I get this:

    " 'BY THE SALT SEAWATER No.'2' . 3 [?] H.KING, PHOTr. SYDNEY. "
