    thats a rather extravagant looking structure in the background. Coal conveyor for the power station ? It seems to be very high.

    [https://www.flickr.com/photos/51979177@N02] Golly you are having a lot of fun with these old warehouse photos (and your Arabic for Tourists!). I get completely lost with old Pyrmont / Ultimo, but managed to find a constant here - the Gilbert Free Stores (built 1888) are still there at the north corner of Murray and Pyrmont Streets - a very handsome building - GoogleMapsStreet View goo.gl/maps/7Yk8i . Now a boutique hotel called '1888' www.1888hotel.com.au/ . The 1888 Gilberts warehouse was behind the photographer here - ... and is the orange building here (not the one with the spire - yet to be id'd) on the 1888 bird's eye - But I cannot get the outline of the old Goldsbrough Mort warehouse (see left of frame in front of the Badgery one) to correspond with the 1935 fire - hmmm ... I think you are right re the long frame - another warehouse under construction near what is now the Novotel. I think the photographer was near what is now the Imax theatre on the east side of Darling Harbour, at the end of Bathurst Street - GoogleMapsStreetView - goo.gl/maps/SJg0J

    Aha! How about this - it's much earlier than I thought - c.1920. The long frame under construction we see turned into this building near Pyrmont Bridge thankfully dated 30/10/22 - investigator.records.nsw.gov.au/BOSImages/Series/0017/420... (thanks to [https://www.flickr.com/photos/51979177@N02] for the prompt). And so the extra upper three floors of the OLD Goldsborough Mort warehouse had not yet been added (that happened in 1923). Q.E.D. ?

    ""The Alice Rawson School for Mothers, at Bourke-street, said Mr. Flowers, "has been taken over and equipped as a clinic, and Dr. Lucy Gullett appointed honorary, medical officer." ... from SMH 26/1/1915 p.4 - trove.nla.gov.au/ndp/del/article/15539822

    Wonderful 1910 (earlier) description of the "unobtrusive little house in Bourke-street" and the good works of the "Alice Rawson School for Mothers" - SMH 14/9/1910 p.5 - trove.nla.gov.au/ndp/del/article/15168288

Fourex beer advertisement

    "Fourex, The memory of the last bottle sells the beer in the next bottle of XXXX."

    Thank you for the translation.

    Victorian brothers Nicholas and Edward Fitzgerald bought the site of a failing distillery on Milton Road in 1877 and opened a brewery which they named Castlemaine after a brewery they already owned in Castlemaine, Victoria. The first beer was brewed there in 1878 and was named XXX Sparkling Ale. XXXX Bitter was introduced in 1924 after Castlemaine brewery employed a German brewer, Alhois William Leitner. Cartoon character Mr Fourex appeared in advertising at the same time. In 1928 Perkins brewing company was purchased by Castlemaine Brewing to form Castlemaine Perkins Limited. Castlemaine Perkins merged with Tooheys in 1980 to form Castlemaine Tooheys and the company was acquired by Alan Bond's Bondcorp in 1985 and taken over by Lion Nathan in 1990. XXXX Gold was introduced in 1991. In 2009 Japanese company Kirin Holdings assumed 100% ownership of Lion Nathan which was renamed Lion in 2011. Although the Milton Brewery has been in operation on the same site since 1877 much of the production of XXXX Bitter now takes place in the Tooheys brewery in Western Sydney and XXXX Gold is also produced in South Australia.
