    I can't help noticing the tin of Arnott's Biscuits with the parrot logo. For more on Arnott's history see Arnott's Heritage.

    Janette Pelosi And it has pride of place in this photo! I didn't realise Arnott's was so old. From the link above: "In 1865, a small bakery opened in Hunter Street, Newcastle, north of Sydney, New South Wales. It supplied bread, pies and biscuits to the local townspeople as well as to the crews of the many ships that docked at the port to load coal." AB

    Comment from reader T. Edmonds: Appears to be at Carriage Works (FA type carriages in background) with food being served. Lad at window has two plates, so possibly working as a waiter. Appears to have a table behind the lad with a plate of food on it.
