Australian National Maritime Museum on The Commons C-class tramcar - note the side mounted trolley pole. I'm willing to be corrected, but this may indicate that the shot was taken in 1897 or 1898. The C-class entered service in 1896.

John Cowper This site at section 2.5.1 has the Mosman Wharf tramway extended and electrified in 1897 too - www.railpage.org.au/tram/goddmack.html . Also the wikipedia article - en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Trams_in_Sydney#First_period_1886_-... I will see if I can find an exact date via Trove - the date is important because it might help date the entire album, which seems to be October 1897 from this march in George St -

Too easy! Trove gives 19.2.1897, several months before this photo (?) as the "official trial trip" - trove.nla.gov.au/ndp/del/article/14089640 . THis article gives amazing full details of the cars ... enough to delight any trainspotter or tramspotter!

The tramway route on an interactive 1900 map - www.nla.gov.au/apps/cdview/?pi=nla.map-rm2358-sd&rgn=... I think this photo is somewhere on Avenue Road - perhaps this bend on GoogleMapsStreetView ? - goo.gl/maps/qByhv

beachcomber australia Well done, as usual! Appreciate the press article re the test!

Ferry wharf at Musgrave Street, Mosman, Sydney

Not "Neutral Bay", but Musgrave Street wharf, Mosman. About 1925 from the wonderful old bus waiting for passengers.

GoogleMapsSatellite. Looks like it is known as 'South Mosman' now.

beachcomber australia Thanks Beachcomber - we hadn't spotted that old bus either! All added to our records.

Repairing or perhaps installing? Looking south from the Spit up Parriwi Road, Mosman, which used to be the main road and tramway. Google street view - maps.google.com.au/maps?ie=UTF8&hq=&hnear=Sydney+...
beachcomber australia said:
If it is installing the tram wires, then this is September / October 1900. See and archivesoutside.records.nsw.gov.au/can-you-date-this-phot... .
