    This is before 1940 as construction of the Captain Cook Graving dock has not yet commenced. ref. www.flickr.com/photos/state-records-nsw/3596918572/

    This does not always works but worth trying - Google Earth - maps.google.com.au/maps?ie=UTF8&hq=&hnear=Sydney+...

    The following picture is approximately 1928 by the construction of the Harbour Bridge approach and I would presume this picture was taken at the same time. However, Australia's first non-CBD highrise development started at Potts Point and the Elizabeth Bay waterfront to the right of the picture around 1920 with the relaxation of building height limits and the importation of elevators and there's no sign of any high rise in this picture. A bit puzzling.

    I wonder if that is "New Beach" near the top left

    They would never have envisioned a #bridgeclimb as they clambered around up there in space with no OHS to worry about...

    Must be soon after 2/12/1930, the date on this one (see fewer hanging girders) -
  • beachcomber australia said:
    The six-masted sailing ship in the distance (see note) is the 'Helen B, Sterling'. See the bridge being built in this reverse view - Sad history of the Sterling ships - nicolecama.com.au/project/the-sterlings/

    Date maybe later 1923...or very early 1924... Earliest date: Astor apartments, Macquarie St - completed 1923 ; Latest date: no Bank of NSW Building, Pitt St/Bridge St/Macquarie Place - built 1923-25...the space where it was built is vacant...so it's possible that the construction might be in an early stage but not visible... trove.nla.gov.au/work/189118099 - I suspect this NLA Fairfax aerial pic was taken on 9th April, 1924 when the visiting Special Service Squadron arrived in Sydney...if you zoom in you can see that the Bank of NSW Building at Macquarie Place was well under construction by this point...ditto Australia House in Carrington St...ditto the Kembla Building, in Margaret St near Wynyard...

    Should be able to cross reference with the open cut for the underground railway as well.
  • Philip Cohen said:
    Harbour View Hotel completed 1922; no sign of southern bridge approach; no sign of underground work on Wynyard station, etc; the date has to be, at the very earliest, 1922; 1925 at the latest; I too am happy with circa 1924 …
