I gather this pic was taken at Victoria Barracks, in Sydney, on 11th February, 1926, when officers from the Staff Corps entertained officers from the visiting Japanese cruiser HIJMS Iwate at a tennis party. See comments/links here www.flickr.com/photos/anmm_thecommons/7258625606/

This is the Yakumo.
Australian National Maritime Museum on The Commons said:
Antoine R Thank you Antoine R, we have updated our records. Are you familiar with the Imperial Japanese Navy cruisers?
Antoine R said:
It is not difficult to tell the German-built Yakumo from the Armstrong pair Izumo and Iwate. Main difference is the form of funnels. The Yakumo had shorter and thicker ones. Another difference is the number and arrangement of deflectors. Also there are other details but those are much visible.

So I take it in the 1940's they wanted to re-invade and take back the land they took in 1924? They must have been startled at the differences between Japan and Oz at that time?

The photo needs to be flipped so that the wooden fence, ferry wharf and harbour are all on the left side of the photo. Here is the corrected photo showing in the background, Farm Cove at left and Circular Quay/City at right. www.flickr.com/photos/168051324@N04/48126771446/in/datepo...
