This photo is slightly earlier judging by the vegetation.

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. Original at AGNSW.

I think Mr Hall, the photographer, was possibly on Fort Denison / Pinchgut for this photo. Also for the 'Fairlight' photo. Interesting to compare the photos - this one is later due to the 1893 sheerlegs ...

beachcomber australia I DONT KNOW. Fabulous name for a boat don't you think :)
beachcomber australia said:
Australian National Maritime Museum on The Commons Yes, that's great! Aussie larrikin humour.

beachcomber australia Australian National Maritime Museum on The Commons I have an alternative name for the boat: The THERE ARE KNOWN KNOWNS; THERE ARE THINGS WE KNOW THAT WE KNOW. THERE ARE KNOWN UNKNOWNS; THAT IS TO SAY THERE ARE THINGS THAT, WE NOW KNOW WE DON'T KNOW. BUT THERE ARE ALSO UNKNOWN UNKNOWN - THERE ARE THINGS WE DO NOT KNOW WE DON'T KNOW, or more simply, The RUMSFELD. :)

pellethepoet Ha! You would need an American aircraft carrier to fit that name on the stern.
