    This ambulance was actually operated by the Central District of the NSW Ambulance Transport Service. The Central District was originally in charge of the Central Sydney (CBD) area, but gradually expanded to include all the Sydney Metropolitan Districts. The photo appears to be taken near Central Railway Station, where the ambulance headquarters were located. The lane is called Ambulance Avenue and is still there, just off Broadway. The NSWATSB was made up of members from the various District committees throughout NSW and was partly funded by the NSW Government. It was the fore runner to today's Ambulance Service of NSW.

    Yes, the photo is taken within the precinct of Central Railway Station. It is just of Railway Square and in the driveway that takes you under the station itself, which used to be called Ambulance Avenue. The building in the back is the old Parcels Office and is now the Medina Hotel. The edge of the building on the far right is Marcus Clarke - another GREAT Sydney Department store. Both buildings were completed in 1913 but Marcus Clarke had an extension done in 1928 which doesn't appear to be in this pic.

    But where is it? That window with the circular insert should give it away.

    This ambulance was actually operated by the Civil Ambulance & Transport Brigade, formed in 1895 and the fore runner to today's Ambulance Service of NSW. www.ambulance.nsw.gov.au/about-us/History.html Also notice the NSW Ambulance Transport Service Board cross on the side of the car, as well as the original CATB cross. THE NSWATSB took control of ambulance services in NSW after 1919.
