Was this for Queen Victoria's Golden Jubilee in 1887 (20th June), or the Diamond Jubilee 1897?
beachcomber australia said:
It must have been for the Diamond Jubilee in 1897, because the statue was not unveiled until 1888.

The cars look 1940s to me, and I think the Captain Cook Graving Dock at Garden Island is there (1944+). Interesting to compare with this earlier view, both from the roof of David Jones -

David Hayes, Merchant: 58 in 1901. It's hard to gauge his age from this picture though.

William Eager - 46, Thomas Mannix - 58, John Quinlan - 24. They're all shopkeepery sort of ages. I'd say this is quite close to the turn of the century. Quinlan can't have been in business much before this (Unless he inherited the business from another J, I suppose - his mother's still on the premises as head of family).
