    [http://www.flickr.com/photos/51979177@N02] It seems there were two 'tardis'. See this c.1913 photo of Dawes Point -



    I am thinking access chamber for bottom-of-the-harbour gas, electricity, or water pipes?

    This was a crossing point for the watermen (water taxis) before the Bridge. I recall reading somewhere that the circular stone structures were offices for the watermen.

    I suspect this pic of Bradfield, etc was taken on 24th September, 1930, when the first hanger ('Hanger 0') was to be lifted into position...however a wild weather event passed thru Sydney that day, so the operation was held over to the 25th...

    Looks to be the same party...probably the same day
