  Probably also Bike-to-work day 1999. It looks like the Chula Vista store of Mission Cyclery opened about 2,000. There was a store in Bonita prior to that.

  She's at Circular Quay, near Princes Stairs; we are looking south west. See note about buildings at right. 1895 interactive map - alignment of St Philips Church to the left of the hip-roofed building. www.nla.gov.au/apps/cdview?pi=nla.map-rm3443-sd&rgn=0... I wonder what all the rough stone was for? What was being built? Also seen here -

  The hipped-roof building behind features in Arthur Streeton's 'Circular Quay' 1892 - artsearch.nga.gov.au/Detail-LRG.cfm?IRN=47963&View=LRG Almost a reverse view, maybe the fruit-seller is in the painting too . . . ?

  Probably piles of woodblocks to pave the streets. (On a first quick look it appears to be all sandstone, but it isn't) Large bluestone in the foreground, of the type used for kerbing.

• beachcomber australia said:

  State Library of New South Wales Aha woodblocks! That might provide a date. I did some snooping on Circular Quay woodblocks a few months ago and came up with an 1887 date from this - SMH 16/8/1887 p.7 'News of the Day' Para 4 - trove.nla.gov.au/ndp/del/article/28350536

  " WE are informed that arrangements have been made for the continuation of the wood-blocking of Circular Quay, which for some time past has been at a standstill. The portion at the south-east corner, including the frontage to Messrs. Flood and Co.'s wool stores and McMahon's New Bond, and the north-eastern portion, from the Orient Wharf past the Messageries to the Government boat shed, are now under orders for completion without delay.
