[http://www.flickr.com/photos/51979177@N02] That house/building is not marked on most 19th century maps, except this wonderful 1822 map - it could be "30 - the Water-bailiff's Residence". I am thinking it might have survived redevelopment for a long time because it was a government building. Interactive 1822 map - www.nla.gov.au/apps/cdview/?pi=nla.map-f107-sd&rgn=0....

These two photos seem to be at either end - like a pano - Australian National Maritime Museum on The Commons Are they arranged close by in the album?

beachcomber australia They aren't arranged next to each other, but a few pages apart. The little number in square brackets in the caption gives you some idea of the ordering in the album. I think there is a Government House panorama coming up, and these images come from either end of the album.

The top photo is a ripper - full of interesting stuff. First the photographer "P. C. BADIER NEWTOWN NSW" - Philip C. Badier, 98 King Street, Newtown. Studio operated between 1887-8 - handle.slv.vic.gov.au/10381/45923 . According to Trove he was a keen cyclist too. The ferries - BUNYA BUNYA or WARATAH ??

Interesting to compare with this contemporary Henry King photo - Megazoom at PhM - from.ph/30871

And compare with the wonderful 1890 (a few years later) painting by Arthur Streeton - From McMahon's Point - fare one penny (NGA). Now on the excellent GoogleArtProject - zoom right in to see every brushstroke detail, and click on the little man to see the painting at the NGA - www.googleartproject.com/collection/national-gallery-of-a...

beachcomber australia Its great isn't it? Thanks for the details & compatible pics. PS CAMMERAY was another suggestion thrown our way re the paddlesteamer ferry. I love that Streeton painting, its so evocative! A bit of beauty in the day. I wonder if this article reference is to the same photographer? Can't have been too many Badiers with a camera. Its 1891 & mentions a studio in Oxford street.

1896 - Phillip Charles Badier, photographer, aged 24 (misprint?? - unless he took these photos when he was 14) fell off a horse near Bathurst and fractured his spine - trove.nla.gov.au/ndp/del/article/63940530

The telephone cable holder was one of those dreadful mistakes in 'street furniture' - " ... In 1885 a cable support disguised as an ornamental verandah front was erected along the western side of George Street from the G.P.O. to what is now Railway Square. (ref 3'4'5) This is a distinctive feature which can be seen on many photographs. It became the backbone of the network with pole routes branching off at every cross street. The pole route in this section of George Street was replaced by a smaller one carrying only telegraph wires. The cable support was superseded before 1900 but was not all demolished. Shopkeepers had been allowed to use it to support awnings, and where they had done so it was left in place. ... " From - www.telephonecollecting.org/lightpoles.htm
