Renira1 Yes, I think they are taxi-cabs or whatever they were called then (1870s?). See en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Taxicab#History This was a popular corner for photographers - A&APC - acms.sl.nsw.gov.au/item/itemDetailPaged.aspx?itemID=63545 Charles Pickering (? c.1871) -

[https://www.flickr.com/photos/51979177@N02] Good grief, you are having fun with this. I'm not sure what you are trying to show, but maybe this 1899 view from the other direction (with associated links in the comments) might be useful ...
Pitt Street had only fairly recently happened near Spring Street at the time of this Degotardi photo (1865-ish?). See the 1858 map - www.nla.gov.au/apps/cdview/?pi=nla.map-rm1272-sd&rgn=... , and compared to the 1822 map where the Tank Stream was yet to be covered over - www.nla.gov.au/apps/cdview/?pi=nla.map-f107-sd&rgn=0.... -

WooHoo! I just noticed the TRAM LINES - see bottom left. ... "Sydney's first tram was horse-drawn, running from the old Sydney Railway station to Circular Quay along Pitt Street. Built in 1861, the design was compromised by the desire to haul railway freight wagons along the line to supply city businesses, in addition to passenger traffic. This resulted in a track that protruded from the road surface and damaged the wheels of wagons trying to cross it. Hard campaigning by competing omnibus owners - as well as a fatal accident involving the leading Australian musician Isaac Nathan in 1864 - led to closure in 1866. " - from en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Trams_in_Sydney#Early_tramways Attn - John Cowper - Sydney's first tramline alert!
