Curiouser and curiouser - the connection between Mr Hall and Henry King ...
Australian National Maritime Museum on The Commons said:
beachcomber australia Hmm these photos are increasingly (and suspiciously) taken from the same spots! Wish there were as many Hall & Co records as there are photos!

The Pastoral Finance Association Woolstore is here in ruins two years after a 1921 fire. It was a real eyesore on the Harbour, next to Admiralty House. See -

The 'Rollicker' had a difficult voyage out from Colombo to Fremantle in 1922 - trove.nla.gov.au/ndp/del/article/83150329 Arrived in Sydney December 1922 - trove.nla.gov.au/ndp/del/article/16049788 "Too big" - sold to Nigeria (!) 1925 - trove.nla.gov.au/ndp/del/article/44637841

The puzzling thing is that there are two Alan C. Green photos (State Library of Victoria), one slightly before - handle.slv.vic.gov.au/10381/29626 and the other slightly after - handle.slv.vic.gov.au/10381/27786 , going by the backgrounds. Hmm?
Australian National Maritime Museum on The Commons said:
beachcomber australia Interesting re the woolstore, seems it remained a feature on the harbour for a fews years after the fire - no one knew quite what to do with it.

Rollicker remained with the RN and was scrapped 6/52

beachcomber australia said:
I wonder if this was the occasion - SMH 3/8/1927 - trove.nla.gov.au/ndp/del/article/16394391 ?
Australian National Maritime Museum on The Commons said:
beachcomber australia Could be it! It's a shame we can't see the name of the tug. Thanks beachcomberaustralia.
beachcomber australia said:
Aha! Thinking laterally, that looks like Wharf 2 Walsh Bay on the right, with Pier One behind.
But what could that HUGE crane behind possibly be building at Dawes Point in possibly 1927 ?
Answer - the Harbour Bridge !!

Q. E. D. ?
