  Milton Kent was the photographer. He did a lot of work earlier for the Sydney City Council, particularly the Demolition Albums. See half way down this page - www.cityofsydney.nsw.gov.au/aboutsydney/historyandarchive... c.1930 due to the incomplete Sydney Harbour Bridge?

  "7 - 9 -29" - is that the date of the photo? 7 September 1929. It was a Saturday.

  Millers Point? Dawes, I'd say! Alas poor Princes Street ...

  Just looking at the state of construction of the Harbour Bridge at Dawes Point, the year has to be 1928...they appear to have started the erection of the steelwork for the arch...my guess is they're attaching the stubs of the lower chord to the end bearings...which took place prior to the erection of the end posts...the SW end post at Dawes Point was positioned in late October/early November 1928...but I don't think they're there yet... ?slightly earlier www.flickr.com/photos/statelibraryofnsw/29837740587/
