[http://www.flickr.com/photos/51979177@N02]It's part of an 1893 set of flood (during/after) photos by ANMM. See the other photos adjacent to this one in their photostream.

[http://www.flickr.com/photos/51979177@N02] I think you may be right - the above photo could be from a later [receding?[ flood - here is Customs House in an 1893 flood photo you linked earlier: [www.archivessearch.qld.gov.au/Image/DigitalImageView.aspx...]

[http://www.flickr.com/photos/51979177@N02] Andy Brill we estimated c 1930 based on the other SS ORUNGAL pics taken by Hood. We're not quite sure but perhaps Hood was travelling on the ORUNGAL between Sydney and Brisbane and that may explain all the other photographs? Interestingly, the vessel was plagued with engine problems for its entire career. On 30 November 1929 while en route from from Brisbane to Sydney ORUNGAL broke down completed and was towed by MUNGANA to Sydney for repairs. I've created a set so that they are easier to view www.flickr.com/photos/anmm_thecommons/sets/72157634468247...

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

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!

FredV45 Brilliant! I vote for the 'Strathaird' and 31/12/1932, like this Frederick Wilkinson photo - en.wikipedia.org/wiki/RMS_Strathaird
