    I have worked out WHERE this is, but will keep quiet for a while to give others a go! Not sure about WHY, WHEN or WHAT . . .

    Now you've got us intrigued!

    [7 days later] The terrace of houses (see note) caught my eye and by chance matched one I had seen on Google Street view when trying to find the location of a Powerhouse Museum collection photo several months ago. Here is the Google street view of the terrace in Balmain at the corner of Punch Street and Fitzroy Avenue - maps.google.com.au/maps?f=q&source=s_q&hl=en&... Which means the "Cable Tram Trailer" is on Cockatoo Island ! Those look like temporary wooden rails - it is being loaded / unloaded on / from a barge. The Trailer looks new and very utilitarian, perhaps meant for industrial use.

    Good spotting beachcomberaustralia. I wonder if it was made on Cockatoo island and was being sent elsewhere.

    Wow and wow. What a piece of detective work. I would never have thought of using Google Maps street view. Here's some more info and another photo of your terrace beachcomberaustralia.
