This photo seems to be later due to the 1890 Metropole Hotel, not seen in the Henry King photo.

Hi folks - thanks for all your comments & additional information. It is great to see similar images from other collections. And being able to narrow the date down to a few years is fantastically helpful! Thanks again!

I don't know where that is, but it is definitely not Green Point on Pittwater.
Andy Brill said:
This is Miller's Point (right), possibly taken from Goat Island or Blues Point.

Apart from the regatta, this is a wonderful and unusual view of the 1895 Dawes Point area and the docks before they were redeveloped into the finger wharves of Walsh Bay. Contemporary interactive map - www.nla.gov.au/apps/cdview/?pi=nla.map-rm3443-sd&rgn=...

beachcomber australia A built-up little spot. I wonder how many of those buildings are still around?
beachcomber australia said:
Australian National Maritime Museum on The Commons Quite a lot of the buildings in Lower Fort Street and Windmill Street are still there, from that terrace with the seven uneven chimneys south. Almost everything around Walsh Bay and Dawes Point was redeveloped for wharves or the Harbour Bridge. GoogleMapsStreetView - I think the photographer was up the hill behind at McMahons Point, or high up on a ship. See the line-up of the terraces 6th chimney with the Lands Department Tower, neither of which has moved in the last 118 years!

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
