"Young men propping up walls" ... I'd like to think they are loitering and up to no good :), but more than likely they are providing perspective at the direction of the photographer.

Yes, you are probably right! Here is a link to the Woolloomooloo Gates into the Royal Botanic Gardens. Same ones, do you think? maps.google.com.au/maps?f=q&source=s_q&hl=en&...

Yes, that sure looks like the one! According to the State Library the gates were erected in 1873. Note the roadside guttering present in both photos, but not here - and now there's a fountain, a lawn, and no roadway. If we could date the erection of the fountain and the removal of the road it may give us a very narrow time period in which the photo could have been taken.

Or is it? Check out this [search: 37996]. Now were they really moved to the other side of the gardens to Macquarie Street? Doesn't make sense. Or were they merely shifted further up Mrs Macquarie Rd? Okay, I'm off right now to check it out!

Okay, the physical structure is the Woolloomooloo Gate, but the location itself is today in mid-air above the Cahill Expressway! There are some great photos of the construction here. And I don't know how I missed it, but the left and right pillars are emblazoned with '1873' (the year of construction), and the centre pillars with 'The Botanic Garden'.
