Museum photos on flickr with open licensing! What a brilliant initiative - makes me proud to be an Australian. Hoping I can add something to the value of these images when I spot something I have first hand knowledge about. (got any images from south australia?)

In all fairness, the "initiative" belongs to the U.S. Library of Congress, the first organization to work on this project on Flickr.

Note the "middle rail" on the King St tram lines - they were cable trams.

What intersection is this?

It is the King Street / George Street intersection looking east. The reverse view is here: www.flickr.com/photos/powerhouse_museum/2901695720/ The pepperpot is still there at the corner of Pitt Street, as are several buildings in King Street. Cable trams ran on this line between 1894-1905; tapered outline telephone poles were pre c.1900, which narrows the date of this photo a lot. www.powerhousemuseum.com/collection/database/?irn=207898&...

...and David Jone's original department store - survived till the early 80's i think.

There's a mid-1950s photo on the State records collection's photo stream; see www.flickr.com/photos/state-records-nsw/2687730613/
