    Or Drogheda?

    Sharon Corbet I think you have it Sharon! I was looking for a bridge but the nearest one to where the ships were moored is relatively new so I was looking in vain! This would have been taken from the heights near where the railway station is now!

    The top photo is a ripper - full of interesting stuff. First the photographer "P. C. BADIER NEWTOWN NSW" - Philip C. Badier, 98 King Street, Newtown. Studio operated between 1887-8 - handle.slv.vic.gov.au/10381/45923 . According to Trove he was a keen cyclist too. The ferries - BUNYA BUNYA or WARATAH ??

    Interesting to compare with this contemporary Henry King photo - Megazoom at PhM - from.ph/30871

    And compare with the wonderful 1890 (a few years later) painting by Arthur Streeton - From McMahon's Point - fare one penny (NGA). Now on the excellent GoogleArtProject - zoom right in to see every brushstroke detail, and click on the little man to see the painting at the NGA - www.googleartproject.com/collection/national-gallery-of-a...

    beachcomber australia Its great isn't it? Thanks for the details & compatible pics. PS CAMMERAY was another suggestion thrown our way re the paddlesteamer ferry. I love that Streeton painting, its so evocative! A bit of beauty in the day. I wonder if this article reference is to the same photographer? Can't have been too many Badiers with a camera. Its 1891 & mentions a studio in Oxford street.

    1896 - Phillip Charles Badier, photographer, aged 24 (misprint?? - unless he took these photos when he was 14) fell off a horse near Bathurst and fractured his spine - trove.nla.gov.au/ndp/del/article/63940530
