In 1859 the Sydney Observatory (centre skyline) had only just been completed - www.powerhousemuseum.com/collection/database/theme,796,Sy...

"View of Dawes Point from McMahons Point"? This view of Dawes Point is not right for it to be from McMahons Point; in fact it is from Milsons Point; see … collection.sl.nsw.gov.au/digital/R3gv2RJa5wvGd collection.sl.nsw.gov.au/digital/GDXGVm0OO4mOj

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!

[http://www.flickr.com/photos/51979177@N02] I think you would have been able to see that witch's hat spire, unless blocked by the ASN Co, tower, but it was not yet built. I am thinking about 1890 for the date The GPO tower seems to be see-thru with open staircases, and no 1891 clock. I tried to post a GoogleMapsStreetView for comparison, but it is not currently letting me copy the link. Something to do with my trying the New Google Maps which is nearly as much of a nightmare as the New Flickr, but at least with the option to go back!

I am not sure whether this was taken from Milsons Point or McMahons Point, very close to that 'Leddicott' house. Leaning towards the latter due to the alignment of the terrace in Fort Street (see note).

Second thoughts - this is definitely from Milsons Point, from about where the northern pylon for the Harbour Bridge is now - see the alignment of the pointy bits on the ASNCo building at Circular Quay west - GoogleMapsStreetView - goo.gl/maps/i40Kg
