    Wow, this is a very distinctive swimming spot. Someone will be able to confirm it's location for sure!

    where is this photo taken ? The gradient of the bridge looks quite steep, if I didn't know the date, I'd think it might be near the spot where the Cahill expressway turns left over the station. What street are they standing on ?
  • Plastic Transport said:
    Ralph Freeman (Harbour Bridge designer and consulting engineer to Dorman Long & Co) was in Sydney in April 1926...he appears in a couple of other pics of Harbour Bridge construction work taken in April 1926...but I can't see him in this group.

    I suspect we also see a couple of the unidentified chaps in this PHM pic www.flickr.com/photos/powerhouse_museum/8283760394/ ; the chap 2nd from the left in the above SRNSW pic might also be the chap on the far left in this PHM pic www.flickr.com/photos/powerhouse_museum/8283755426/ ; I can't identify any NSW Cabinet ministers here (1st Lang ministry, 1925-27)
