    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 ??

    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.

    According to the DIA, St. Michael's Church spire was completed in 1902, and I don't see it. County Hall is from 1880.

    An Aeolus class cruiser built in 1890 and sold in 1910 .. www.worldnavalships.com/hms_melampus.htm She seems to have been stationed at Kingstown as a coastguard ship.
