It is possible the wharf on the LHS is at Pyrmont Sydney Harbour. The building in the background is the old Navy stores at 12 / 14 Pyrmont where there was a huge railway shunting area.
Australian National Maritime Museum on The Commons said:
Ron McIntosh Thank you for pointing that out Rons Finds! It looks like you're right, that building is still there and right near us, here at the Australian National Maritime Museum. Also saw this photo from Flickr user Kookaburra2011, which is a clearer view of the building along with a little history. The full source of the photo: Graeme Andrews, RAN 1955-1968, RANR 1980, it appears on the Naval Historical Society of Australia's two disc set 'Warships of the Past and Present,' compiled by Graeme, an Honourary Life Member of the Society.

I think it is before 1935 due to the lack of Luna Park. And the cars!

beachcomber australia Great spotting beachcomber!

This is the Strathaird of 1932 or the Strathnaver (1931), P&O sisters built for the England-Australia service and on it except for WW2 duties until their scrapping in Hong Kong in 1961. Checking the bow at max resolution, it looks more like the former name!
beachcomber australia said:
FredV45 Brilliant! I vote for the 'Strathaird' and 31/12/1932, like this Frederick Wilkinson photo - en.wikipedia.org/wiki/RMS_Strathaird

[http://www.flickr.com/photos/51979177@N02] what other pic were you referring to? That would be a great indication for the date! You're right about the river quasymody! :)

[http://www.flickr.com/photos/51979177@N02] Ah yes, I thought you meant a photo from our collection :) Yes you are right though, that's a good point.
