Was used by NSW Institute of Technology (now UTS) for business and law school from 1967-1984. in the end It leaked in some of the classrooms when it rained, and had non-functioning lifts in the middle of the staircase. Still good memories of the Brickfield Hill building though.

Looks like they're at the Central Station parcels office...in the background we're looking West across George St down Quay St. Some of the buildings seen here are still standing...

trove.nla.gov.au/work/190120541 - this [1927] NLA Fairfax pic of George St, etc which looks to have been taken from the Central Station clock tower gives a good view of the general location...

trove.nla.gov.au/work/187501373 - ditto this other NLA Fairfax pic of Railway Square...

The date has to be ca. 1927 or later...you can just make out the Empire Theatre in Quay St...it was completed in 1927...it had a very distinctive hoarding/billboard/sign on top which just makes it into frame in the background behind the delivery guys' heads...

trove.nla.gov.au/work/10441750 - SLNSW Sam Hood pic of the Empire Theatre...

trove.nla.gov.au/work/13466707 - another SLNSW Sam Hood pic of the Empire Theatre...

trove.nla.gov.au/work/10430566 - more wonders of Trove!...the NLA has another pic of these Hordern's delivery guys...looks to be the same occasion...

trove.nla.gov.au/work/11361441 - this other pic of the Hordern's delivery wagons looks to be much earlier...

The same crossing years later: (Discovered it already a year ago, now just wanted to connect the two pictures.)

The parcels Post Office at Railway Square (opened 1913) is under construction - see Persistent URL. Which implies this photo is c.1912. Also the tram pylons in the centre of George Street are no longer there. They were removed in about 1908 to enable wider bodied trams.
