Funnels of the former HMAS AUSTRALIA I

• Antoine R said:

  Of course these funnels are not of HMAS Australia but of one of Australian light cruisers: Melbourne, Sydney, Brisbane or Adelaide. Unfortunately I can't say exactly which of them.

  This is before 1940 as construction of the Captain Cook Graving dock has not yet commenced. ref. www.flickr.com/photos/state-records-nsw/3596918572/

  This does not always works but worth trying - Google Earth - maps.google.com.au/maps?ie=UTF8&hq=&hnear=Sydney+...

• GrenadierGuardsDmr said:

  The following picture is approximately 1928 by the construction of the Harbour Bridge approach and I would presume this picture was taken at the same time. However, Australia's first non-CBD highrise development started at Potts Point and the Elizabeth Bay waterfront to the right of the picture around 1920 with the relaxation of building height limits and the importation of elevators and there's no sign of any high rise in this picture. A bit puzzling.

  I wonder if that is "New Beach" near the top left

• beachcomber australia said:

  This photo is slightly earlier judging by the vegetation.

• beachcomber australia said:

  The trees and vegetation had grown up considerably by 1907 when Arthur Streeton painted "Sydney Harbour from Penshurst (Cremorne)" - commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Arthur_Streeton_-_Sydney_Harbour_from_Penshurst_(Cremorne)_-_Google_Art_Project.jpg - click through to large size.

  pellethepoet Indeed! But the GoogleArtProject version is sooo much higher-res! You can almost see what Arthur had for lunch!
