I love a puzzle! Firstly, the image needs horizontal flipping - see the number plate of the motorcycle bottom right - "34995". 1920s? Winter? People coming and going? ...

beachcomber australia Indeed you can see the number plate! It would be great if this image was clearer so we could see the destination printed on the tram. I don't know how you were able to spot 'Street' or 'Beach', great eyesight! :)

Australian National Maritime Museum on The Commons My eyesight is shocking from looking at these wonderful old photos, but I think I have an answer . . . Crowds near South Head (due to trams) going to watch the arrival of the American Fleet early morning (long shadows) on Thursday 23 July (winter coats) 1925. trove.nla.gov.au/ndp/del/article/16233521 trove.nla.gov.au/ndp/del/article/16233546 Or not?

OR ... The departure of the US Fleet on Thursday 6 August 1925. See SMH from the following day - trove.nla.gov.au/ndp/del/article/16213029. The Fleet began leaving at 11am. Remarkably there are no children around - a school day? And maybe the traffic jam is caused as everyone is leaving?

See comments at www.flickr.com/photos/state-records-nsw/3863900492/. c.1905, from the tram evidence. All the businesses seem to be closed and delapidated; perhaps about to be demolished for road widening, or maybe for the building of the Sydney Stadium in 1908 - en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sydney_Stadium .

beachcomber australia Yes. Later renumbered 125. The Sydney metropolitan detail series (Google Satellite View equivalent of the 1880s) - acms.sl.nsw.gov.au/_zoomify/2008/D00663/a1367322.html - gives a clearer understanding of the former layout of the buildings at the intersection.
