  It's worth noting that this is taken from within the Dawes Point Battery walls. See cannon mounting at mid-right of shot.

  [http://www.flickr.com/photos/51979177@N02] I am sure you mean the Mercantile Rowing Club, shown on this 1895 interactive map (usually reliable in detail) as "M.R.C." www.nla.gov.au/apps/cdview?pi=nla.map-rm3443-sd&rgn=0...

Dawes Point, pre-1924

from Museums of History NSW - State Archives Collection

• beachcomber australia said:

  Interesting history of the Dawes Point Battery (.pdf file download) - asaha.com/ebook/DODQ1NDE-/Dawes-Point-Battery-Site,-1791-... . It describes the fort - "By 1819 Governor Lachlan Macquarie ordered the convict and architect Francis Greenway, to construct a castellated fort at Dawes Point. Largely a stage-front, the fort was to appear threatening to vessels sailing into Sydney Harbour through the Heads" This looks like it could be one of Major General Harry Finn's commissioned photographs of 1901-3.
