A decorated Central Railway Station, 1901

The street off to the left with the horse bus was Devonshire Street which is now only the Devonshire Street pedestrian tunnel. The street was obliterated by railway tracks leading to the new (existing) Central Station when it moved further north.

Thanks GrenadierGuardsDmr for that interesting information! Am now able to pinpoint the area in my mind's eye!

Over the Conservatorium, Sydney 1901

from Museums of History NSW - State Archives Collection

beachcomber australia said:
The "View Over the Conservatorium" is of the visit of the Duke and Duchess of Cornwall and York (later King George V and Queen Mary) at the time of Federation. It was Monday 27 May 1901. Read all about it (SMH 28/5/1901 p.5 onwards) - trove.nla.gov.au/ndp/del/page/1342562?zoomLevel=2 Photo taken from the top of the dome on the Chief Secretary's Building. Odd thing is that there are no crowds around.

There is a companion photo (later I think, see the tree shadows) which shows the Naval vessels firing off salutes to the Royals, as described in the SMH report link above -

I recognised the octagonal tower of the Government House gatehouse but couldn't work out why it was so close to Macquarie Street. Now I realise they must have relocated it 50 metres east when they built the Cahill Expressway approaches.
