    It would be interesting to try to identify the 'gardeners' - the gentleman with the gray moustache looks a little like Dr Bradfield ... but that's just a guess. Come on, this should test us!

    John Cowper Good idea! I've replaced this with a larger version. I think you've picked JJC Bradfield. From this photo below we know that (third along) the woman is Mrs Davidson.

    Well the gentleman either behind her or to her right may well be the Minister. Would they have involved people from the Town Hall - ie the Lord Mayor, Lady Mayoress, or the Town Clerk and his wife perhaps?

    The article by Dr Bradfield in the SMH Supplement of 19/3/1932 (under "Lighting Arrangements") mentions - "The parklets are planted with silky oaks, red bottle brush, ficus hillii, with a Moreton Bay ash, a distinctive eucalypt in each for shade, also two rosemary bushes, planted by Rosemary Game and Rosemary Budge." trove.nla.gov.au/ndp/del/article/28034317 I wonder if those are the Rosemarys? Rosemary Game was the wife of the NSW Governor, but I am not sure who Rosemary Budge was.

    Notable lack of clutter about the walkway protecting those who want that final departure with a splash.

    Is the engine 1905? The funnel looks right for a Z19

    A bridge, but not THE bridge :). Looks like a cantilever through truss, similar to Brisbane's Story Bridge en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Story_Bridge. Photo circa 1920, maybe?

    This one? -
  • beachcomber australia said:
    Ha! I think it was at the corner of Miller and Blue Streets, at 3.00 pm on Saturday 28 July 1923. SMH same date p.14, "Turning the First Sod - Ceremony Today" - trove.nla.gov.au/ndp/del/article/16083692 .Read all about it !

    Good piece of detective work! Maybe the Powerhouse has the model, or - ? A mystery to be solved.

    As I understand it, JJC Bradfield had such strength of character that it was he who decided to use the arch design, despite all the approvals and documentation referring to the cantelever design.
