Statue of Governor Bourke

from Powerhouse Museum

beachcomber australia said:
This statue (1842) was one of the first ever in Australia (!). It is now in front of the State Library in Macquarie Street, but in this photo it looks more like Hyde Park. Anyone know if it has been moved? More - www.publicartaroundtheworld.com/Sir_Richard_Bourke_Statue...
beachcomber australia said:
[http://www.flickr.com/photos/51979177@N02] Yes, my mistake about Hyde Park - probably because the State Library is not yet built in this photo. Evidently they planned to move the statue to align with the Library as early as 1911 - trove.nla.gov.au/ndp/del/article/15292367 , but waited until 1925 for various reasons. Original position shown on this 1895 interactive map - www.nla.gov.au/apps/cdview?pi=nla.map-rm3443-sd&rgn=0...

wow this might be a tricky one!
Nicole Davis said:
Do the numbers on the images mean anything? Going by the similarity with this I'd say around the same time ... and am still investigating. Ihave no idea where at this point but possibly looking down to Darling Harbour???
Don Shearman said:
Sounds like a challenge to me :) There's a gas street light part way down the street which I assume could help to date it (presumably late 1800's). From the shadow and the lack of development on the land in the background, which is apparently across the harbour, I'm guessing that its looking north. Also seems to be a ferry terminal or something similar opposite the end of the street.

[hint - it's NOT the back-of-bourke !]
Nicole Davis said:
beachcomber australia I feel very lost as to location despite your hint. But I can say that if I'm right and it's around the same time as the George Street photo that it would be post 1908/9 which is the earliest that photo could be ... now what does that hint mean????
