    Well to start, it is before 1974, because that was when the long pier connecting the ferry wharf to the acquarium was destroyed in a storm, if memory serves me correctly.

    There is hardly a car to be seen. But there are lots of people on the beach, so it wasn't taken at 5 AM or some funny time. I can't see any trams or buses anywhere either. Kalajzich's hotel is not built. There are a few cars parked on the side of the road, but none moving anywhere, which seems a bit odd. I can't see any of the 1960's-70's era style units. The Harbord Diggers is just out of shot. Can't see any tram tracks. The absence of cars seems so strange, I am wondering if it is some unusual time, like 11 AM on Armistice Day, or during the running of the Melbourne Cup or maybe Christmas Day. Some expert will know about the various configurations of the wharves at Manly. The height of the trees on the ocean-side waterfront might also be a clue. I know there was a big die-off due to detergent in the sewage in the late 70's but the photo is well before that. I will guess 1939.

    Manly Oceanworld is not there, so definitely before 1962. There are cars parked on the harbour side of the Esplanade behind the beach but I can't make out enough detail to suggest a year.

    Mich It's some time between 1933 and 1939. The promenade walkway opened in 1933 and the old clock tower was destroyed by fire in 1939. The ferry would be the SS Dee Why or SS Curl Curl.

    Mich Don Shearman David Bromage Thanks for all your comments and detective work here - 1933-1939 is a good date range to have determined. AB

    No FX/FJ Holdens visible, and ladies fashions seem post-war, so I think 1946-7 is most likely.

    There is a series of postcards at acms.sl.nsw.gov.au/album/albumView.aspx?acmsID=411345&... which are dated c1928, and one in particular shows very close to this scene with the tree growth about 1-2 years behind. So I’ll start with c1930.

    I felt this great photo deserved some restoration (mainly to remove a lot of the artifacts & improve dynamic range). My sepia duo-tone version can be seen here -
    Circa 1930 -
