This is great
Hilarious Trade said:
Nice, these old images are fantastic. Not sure how the names have changed over the years, but to me this shows Union Street in the centre, and King Street to the right. The area in the foreground is known as Castlegate I think.

Detroit, Michigan?!???!!

hasn't changed much at all, there are no railings round the merkat cross now -- Seen in some comments. (?)

MEGANTIC of Liverpool at Aberdeen Wharf, Millers Point, Sydney

from Australian National Maritime Museum on The Commons

beachcomber australia said:
I expect Frederic Wilkinson recorded the date and time of this too. I am guessing it was February / March 1920. The MEGANTIC made just one trip to Australia, bringing home returning servicemen - trove.nla.gov.au/ndp/del/article/15867280 . She was built in 1908 for the UK - Canada run, survived torpedoes in WW1, laid up in 1933 - en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SS_Megantic_(1908)
Australian National Maritime Museum on The Commons said:
beachcomber australia Thanks Beachcomber, we thought it would be about 1920. I am sure Wilkinson noted a date for this one too - he seems to have been quite meticulous - but it must have been lost along the way.

It docked in Sydney at ANZAC Bench, Wooloomooloo, and disembarked returning serviceman, but also war brides from the UK, my grandmother, Margaret Olwen Hughes, was one such. .I think this was the only WW1 war bride ship from the UK to Australia.
