Fort Macquarie, Sydney

from Australian National Maritime Museum on The Commons

Ian Sanderson said:
Fort Macquarie was located on Bennelong Point, where the Opera House now is www.lib.mq.edu.au/all/journeys/related/fortmacquarie.html It fascinates me that, although there are defences further up the Harbour, the size of the nascent city was such that defences on Bennelong Point, Dawes Point and Fort Denison existed. The area actuallly covered is so small by modern standards.

1892-93 . Fred Hardie visiting photographer for GWW - acms.sl.nsw.gov.au/item/itemdetailpaged.aspx?itemid=152951 Peculiar clothes for the period - looks like he is wearing sunnies. Or a burglar's mask.

There is a wonderful favourite Henry King photo (PhM) of that archway used as a frame for HMS UNDINE -

beachcomber australia Ian Sanderson Thanks folks. I hadn't noticed the ship peeping through the archway, a similar scene so beautifully captured in the King photograph.

The Mariposa arrived in Sydney on 25th February, 1932...this was the first time she'd been to Sydney. She was initially berthed at East Circular Quay, No. 2 wharf...and was later moved to West Circular Quay, No.4 wharf...from where she departed late evening on 27th February, 1932.
