The Photographic Collection We hold tens of thousands of archival photos from the late 19th Century to the present, capturing life in New South Wales in much of its richness and diversity. The original formats of these images vary widely, from glass plates and lantern slides to 35mm negatives, colour transparencies and prints. More images from our photographic collection can be searched for from the Homepage on our website.

    Great photo, this; the sea looks mighty rough!

    This whole area is now the Foreshore Park thanks to the vision of former Lord Mayor Ald Joy Cummings. The Rolling Stock shed has been repurposed as a picnic shed. Unfortunately Zaara Street was demolished rather then being repurposed. Housing Commission flats have been erected on the area behind the powerhouse.

    Car is a Regal Underslung model N roadster from 1913-4, manufactured in Detroit, USA. Note up-turned front chassis members with axle and leaf springs above, giving the vehicle a lower centre of gravity and therefore better handling. [www.vintagedrivingmachines.com/userimages/adpics/21456592...]
