Fabulous photo of early Circular Quay! I don't mean to be picky but the Man o;War Steps were/are behind the photographer, the other side of Fort Macquarie. See this 1867 interactive map - www.nla.gov.au/apps/cdview/?pi=nla.map-rm2685-sd&rgn=...

beachcomber australia Wow thanks beachcomber :) The landscape looks so different now, it is great to have some buildings / sites identified so that you can feel oriented looking at this pic. Its a fabulous shot!

Agree with ANMM, it really helps understand the photo having the buildings/sites identified.

Re Miles Buildings (see note at right). John Degotardi (Senior) published a panorama taken from this building in c.1865-68, ie at a similar time. Interesting to see the reverse view - click through to the large size - acms.sl.nsw.gov.au/item/itemDetailPaged.aspx?itemID=440028#

Petrol Pump looks like the Shell Hammond D type of the 1920s. See Items PP 119 and PP120 just before half way down this selection: xxxxantiques.com.au/antiques_collectables_old_vintage_ant...

Campbells Cove?

Andy Brill beachcomber australia Thanks for your input folks! This one is tricky. Can't seem to find any other images detailing the two jetties. the street lamps and the fuel pumps. There is a notice on the pier that reads: 'Notice. / Sydney Harbour Trust / fishing from these jetties is strictly prohibited....By order W.E. Austin'. EW Austin was appointed chairman to the SHT in 1930. The steam launch in the background appears to have the word 'VANILLO' or 'VANILLO' on it.

Second thoughts - Bennelong Point, east side, near Man o' War steps. The area was a mass of jetties c.1930 (pre-Opera House) - see this c.1927 map - The "VANILLO" may be an advert on a steam vehicle ferry (see map above).
