    I had lived in Sydney for 10 years and came back to my home in Japan in Feb this year. This is now where I used to catch my bus to and from city.

    So all of this magnificence has gone then? Like a good many marvellous pieces of architecture sadly.

    Fantastic, has changed a lot in nearly 100 years. On the left is the dome of the Queen Victoria Building.

    Can anyone read the time on the GPO clock?

    Culwalla Chambers (1912) - see note - was Sydney's "first skyscraper". Still there at the SW corner of King and Castlereagh Streets. Ref.- www.sydneyarchitecture.com/cbd/cbd4-014.htm

    EeeeeeeeeeeeK! Notes have completely disappeared in the latest layout update. One step forward, one-and-a-half back.

    pellethepoet I think it is about 10:20 by the shadows.

    Kerry was rather keen on this view - www.flickr.com/photos/powerhouse_museum/3004417112/ and www.flickr.com/photos/powerhouse_museum/3023700018/ I think this one is the best, and the earliest - no tram electric pylons.
  • BobMeade said:
    Yep, beachcomberaustralia, you're right. Some other views photographers of the era were also keen on the same scene. Flip through some of the images of the Queen Victoria Building at Picture Australia to see some: www.pictureaustralia.org/apps/pictureaustralia?term1=quee... The Queen Victoria Building was one of the colossal Australian buildings of that age.

    Thanks lifeasdaddy for the link. it is interesting to search "Queen Victoria Markets" as well, to get a lot of older photos which have not been cross-referenced or tagged. Something odd with the State Library links - I will complain to my local State MP! The QVB certainly is 'colossal' - I always thought it needed two or three extra floors height to balance the length and those heavy looking domes on the roof. But I am so glad it survives and flourishes.
