beachcomber australia Fancy seeing you here Beachie. You can blame my father's cousin for the demolition of the cinema. He was a Landscape Architect and was involved in the construction of the Warringah Expressway. www.smh.com.au/national/peter-spooner-architect-shaped-at...

I guess nothing changes - taxi drivers are dodgy. Public transport should have priority over cars. A taxi did a U-turn in front of a tram I was on and it was a write off. I took some photos: www.flickr.com/photos/furphy/213015383/ and the taxi www.flickr.com/photos/furphy/213015543 -- Seen on your photo stream. (?)

For admirers of Sam Hood's photos, there is a book - Sydney Exposures, Through the eyes of Sam Hood & his studio 1925 - 1950, [probably] published by the State Library of NSW,

Mountain Stage was also the name of a station on the Farranfore to Valentia railway so I'd assume we're somewhere near there. The photo looks very staged. maps.osi.ie/publicviewer/#V2,462748,589090,11,9

Well, there's a plausible collection of scruffy hovels here, just north of where Glenbeigh station was: www.google.ie/maps/@52.0602417,-9.942601,3a,75y,23.47h,61... maps.osi.ie/publicviewer/#V2,466829,591597,11,9

There's plenty of similar wreckage round Mountain Stage station as well, of course. You can't get streetview into it, though.

The "Similar items" in the NLI catalogue imply that Mr French visited after the railway line and station were opened in 1893. ( en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Farranfore_to_Valencia_Harbour_Railway ) I strained my eyes trying to find this hovel via megazoom™ on Mr French's views of the area, with no luck - see catalogue.nli.ie/Record/vtls000318921 & catalogue.nli.ie/Record/vtls000318911 Psst! @ National Library of Ireland on The Commons This one of a wonderful bridge "In Hillsborough Demesne" has crept into the wrong place ! - catalogue.nli.ie/Record/vtls000332016
