    From Cremorne Point, or a low-flying biplane?
  • beachcomber australia said:
    No, Mr Hood must have been stationary to do this photo too -
  • Australian National Maritime Museum on The Commons said:
    beachcomber australia I've often been confused and amazed as to how Hood managed to take the photographs he did. For e.g.

    Australian National Maritime Museum on The Commons There is a pale-coloured block with a tower on Cremorne Point (still there). Maybe Mr Hood was up there for these pics?

Ship tied at buoy, Cremorne Point

from Museums of History NSW - State Archives Collection

  • beachcomber australia said:
    I think this is the pointy end of the ship. Southerly breeze by the ferry smoke and the way the ships are facing. Sometime after 1932 (Harbour Bridge).

Robertson Point Lighthouse

from Museums of History NSW - State Archives Collection

  • beachcomber australia said:
    The lighthouse was built in 1909 - lighthouses.org.au/nsw/robertson-point-lighthouse/
    It is looking brand spanking new here; and it looks like the "mains electricity" mentioned in the site above, is not yet connected; no poles and wires.

    [Aside] I drank a bottle of bubbly with a friend on the lower level back in the 1980s. Probably why access is prevented now!

    A favourite spot 50+ years ago - a girl, a blanket, and just watching the world go by. There was a steel ladder down the cliff at that time, and access was easy. Surprisng how much activity there was on the Harbour at night.
