It's noticeable that no-one is posing for this photo, and that the camera is at waist height. I wonder if the photographer was travelling alone, and possibly using a hidden briefcase camera ??

[https://www.flickr.com/photos/51979177@N02] Good calls with the Fitzroy falls! It is amazing how different they look in almost every photo. Respect to Mr Hall for going out on a limb or rock shelf to get this photo. Recent photo with much more vegetation - [https://www.flickr.com/photos/ianmh2011/13692313664] Earlier from other direction by John Paine (1833-1908), which shows where Mr Hall would have been -

That description in the Sydney Mail article wins The Purple Prose of the Year Award 1882 ! " ... Immediately it streams over the ledge it is divided into spray for which only feeble comparisons exist. Gossamer, lace, and down are alternately suggested as similarities, but neither conveys an adequate idea of the appearance of the fall as, swayed by the action of the breeze, it assumes the most fantastic forms. At a short distance it looks something like an undulating film of gossamer, then like a cloud of tiny feathers, until it changes into a ribbon of lace of constantly varying patterns. Millions of tiny spray drops fall gently downwards, and the imagination converts them into a shower of pearls while the clouds intercept the rays of the sun, and when these break forth again the visitor conceives himself to be gazing on a stream of diamond dust. ... ...

On second thought it is Fitzroy, because you can see the lookout in the very top on the frame on this one, taken in 1925 www.flickr.com/photos/kipnewing/4041705091/in/set-7215762...

beachcomber australia Thanks beachcomber, that looks about right! We reckon we could now plot on a map the passage Hall took through the Hawkesbury. :)
beachcomber australia said:
Australian National Maritime Museum on The Commons Some of the other 'Hawkesbury' photos have me puzzled - I think many are tributaries (Macdonald, Colo, Nepean, etc). Hmmm ...
Australian National Maritime Museum on The Commons said:
beachcomber australia Were you referring to this one?

The President of the Dharug and Lower Hawkesbury Historical Society thinks that this one may have been taken at Colo River.
beachcomber australia said:
Australian National Maritime Museum on The Commons Yes, I thought Nepean Gorge for that photo, but I don't know either (Nepean or Colo) river at all well.
