Anyone know exactly where in Sydney this was?

[https://www.flickr.com/photos/51979177@N02] Good work! I think you are right with the Goldsbrough Darling Harbour ID. See also this 1884 illustration - trove.nla.gov.au/ndp/del/article/64035872 , which shows railway in front - a bit of a hint. The old warehouse was at the corner of Fig and Pyrmont Streets, Ultimo. I think it was rebuilt after a fire and extended to Allen Street, as it now is.

According to the 1895 interactive map, the building on the left is the Meat Market !. The photographer was at the junction of Allen and Pyrmont Streets, looking SE - www.nla.gov.au/apps/cdview/?pi=nla.map-rm3443-sd&rgn=...

Phew! A relief after four years of sleepless nights!

" ... Sydney's first wool store was the Richard Goldsbrough warehouse built on the corner of Pyrmont and Fig streets in 1883. From World War II until the 1960s, wool stores on the peninsula employed thousands of men. With lanolin oil soaked into thousands of feet of wood, fires were a constant hazard. In 1935 the Goldsbrough and Mort store went up in a blaze lasting two weeks, filling the suburb with the smell of burning wool and grease. ..."

Article about the 1935 fire which destroyed the warehouse. A photo shows the warehouse as above with three extra floors built on top - trove.nla.gov.au/ndp/del/article/83657628

Looks like they're cleaning and bagging onions.

I thought onions too, but the foliage in the background suggests some sort of potato.

Looking at the full-sized TIFF ( memory.loc.gov/master/pnp/fsac/1a34000/1a34400/1a34435u.tif ) I think you're right.
bf53490 said:
I think its onions for sure and they are taking off the outer husks/skins with that machine. Doing it right out there in the field, that must have been way before a factory.
artpease said:
The bag clinches it for me: onions are more often in mesh bag such as seems to be the case here

Corporal John Francis Bales

This is another of those photographs in which the cap badge shown doesn't match the regimental name given in the text. There could be a reason for that especially by 1917 when wounded men were returned to other regiments once they had recovered.

Thought I would check the CWGC website and can't find this man listed.
