From McMahon's Point (not Milsons) looking east. They are celebrating something big with the crowds, flags, and boats.

I wonder if pellethepoet knows where this is?

Yes I wonder.....:)

Museums of History NSW - State Archives Collection Thank you so much for going to the trouble of tracking down this image of Ferry Lane. beachcomber australia This is the photo I mentioned here that was incorrectly identified in Harvey Shore's book.

pellethepoet Another to add to the 'coincidences' gallery.

beachcomber australia Whoops, thanks - nearly forgot in all my excitement!

Hi, I'm an admin for a group called Sydney's Inner West, and we'd love to have this added to the group!

Looks like a tram line in the centre of the road but no sign of the cable trough, so this may be Darling St prior to the installation of the cable tram.

So a horse drawn tram?

My vote goes to this being Alfred Street, Milson's Point. Not Balmain as in the title. See Persistent URL. But I can't see the "GPO Tower visible across the harbour". I can see Government House, and (?) St Marks Darling Point steeple.

I agree - this probably isn't Balmain. The shop on the corner looks right, but if so there should probably be a street on the right corresponding with a street on the right. And most of the buildings down the street appear to be shops, whereas the surviving buildings down Darling Street near the wharf are mostly terraces and houses.
