The feature which you have identified as the gasholder, is a building at Drummoyne. Mortlake is much further away.

Mich Distant gasholder appears to be No 3 gasholder at Mortlake, (erected 1917 & demolished c1990), the largest in Australia, and about 60 metres high. It was a landmark feature, visible from trains crossing the Harbour Bridge. Also see: trove.nla.gov.au/ndp/del/article/15514429
