    I think the old gate post which was there for many years is gone now. The cleared area in that photo seems a lot larger than it was in the late 60's or appears on aerial photographs now.

    5 or 6 vintage (mid to late 1920s cars) and 3 x 1934ish to 1938ish cars. Could we be looking at a photo taken in the early years of WW2? It may be the long shadows and afternoon light [as my recollection of that part of the park is that west is photo right] but I think that 3 of the cars may have WW2 blackout white lines painted on their mudguards. The mudguards of the tourer, photo centre with child on running board, are maybe lined in white paint as are the mudguard and running board of the late 30s car nearest the bridge and possibly the tourer on the extreme right of the photo? As I say it could be the afternoon light or, as lighter coloured mudguards were used on some vintage cars, it just may be a fashionable paint job! If it’s blackout markings then the photo would be early 1942 or after as I think the blackout measures were not required in Sydney till after December 1941. I feel that the fashions and hairstyles are early 1940s? Is there enough info for our shadows dating expert? The new Fullers Bridge over the river is pretty much on the same alignment as the old bridge [built 1918] in the photo. State Library NSW has similar images in a series dated 1943 under Lane Cove National Park – same era cars and same style of dress. ACTUALLY just found the same photo with less cropping – dated 10/1943 Digital order no. d1_22620 acms.sl.nsw.gov.au/item/itemLarge.aspx?itemID=191531

    good detective work there. Always nice to be able to date these pics a bit more accurately.

    That picnic ground is where a carpark/picnic ground is, just south of the weir.

    I think it is Fig Tree Point on the Lane Cove river. The end of the ferry run, a popular swimming and picnic spot back in the day. See other photos and links -

    Red herring - there's a wonderful description of an 1889 ferry ride from the city to Fig Tree Point from the AT&CJ - trove.nla.gov.au/newspaper/article/71121619/5435014 , plus illustrations on p.26.
