trove.nla.gov.au/newspaper/article/245844234 - this pic appeared in the Sydney Daily Telegraph on 12th February, 1926 (see pic lower lhs)...it was evidently taken in Sydney the previous day when officers from the NSW Staff Corps entertained officers from the visiting Japanese cruiser HIJMS Iwate at a tennis party held at Victoria Barracks. trove.nla.gov.au/newspaper/article/245844037 - the Daily Telegraph's report... Per the Daily Telegraph, the Japanese officers present included Lieutenant Commander K. Nakae, Lieutenant T. Hadaka, Lieutenant Shigenaga, Sub-Lieutenant I. Ikegami and Sub- Lieutenant N. Kimura. The commander of HIJMS Iwate was evidently Captain Yedahara...it's unclear whether he attended the Victoria Barracks tennis party. Per the Daily Telegraph the local tennis players included 'Mrs. Noel Cox Taylor, Miss Cox Taylor, the Misses Dorothy and Olga Bruche (twins), Miss Kidstone, Mr and Miss Harper, Mrs. Solby, Mrs. Bevis.' These NLA Fairfax pics were also taken on this occasion: trove.nla.gov.au/work/185779837 trove.nla.gov.au/work/185779838 trove.nla.gov.au/work/185779833 HIJMS Iwate visited Sydney on several occasions...January 1924, February 1926 and May 1932.

54 Ford Customline There was an Orient Line vessel called SS ORIANA, however it was not the sister vessel of SS ORAMA, it was SS ORONSAY. If you're interested we have various items in the collection related to SS ORIANA that have been published on eMuseum.

beachcomber australia You may be right beachcomber because it definitely isn't Circular Quay. Plus a quick search in Trove suggests that it was berthed at either wharf 7 or 8 when it came to Sydney.

If it was the first visit as is likely, then she departed at noon on Saturday 10 January 1925, according to this - trove.nla.gov.au/ndp/del/article/16184088 . More details of the ship and sinking in 1940 -
" ORAMA; Owned by the Orient Steam Navigation Co. and built in 1924 by Vickers; 19,840 tons; 632x75.2x32.9 ft.; 3,900 n.h.p.; 18 knots; turbine engines. The ocean liner Orama (Capt. F. G. Sherburne), was requisitioned as an auxiliary troop transport for the British Expeditionary Force to Norway in the spring of 1940. On 8th June 1940, aircraft carrier HMS Glorious, destroyers HMS Acasta and HMS Ardent, the tanker Oil Pioneer and the Orama were some 300 miles West of Narvik, just as the German battleships Scharnhorst and Gneisenau and the heavy cruiser Admiral Hipper, escorted by lighter craft, were sweeping this area and completely overwhelmed the British, sinking all five ships. The Orama was sunk by gunfire from the Admiral Hipper and was also torpedoed. Nineteen men were killed and 280, including Capt. Sherburne, became prisoners. The Orama was not carrying troops at the time. "
