    How very, very confusing! Charles Kerry, this is not the La Perouse Monument, but the Captain Cook Monument at Kurnell. Undoubtedly at the same time (6/5/1899) as this photo -

    Oh well spotted beachcomberaustralia! The La Perouse monument is quite similar though, mainly a circular column compared to the obelisk shape we see in this wikipedia page about La Perouse (the Sydney suburb): en.wikipedia.org/wiki/La_Perouse,_New_South_Wales Also, these views:

    BobMeade Yes they are similar, but in Kerry's day the La Perouse monument was dwarfed by Norfolk Island pines -

    beachcomber australia Well spotted beachcomber! It's rather gobsmacking no-one ever spotted the caption error - not even Tyrrell it would appear. The Star Photo Co. wasn't confused -

    Read all about it ! There is a full description of the occasion on Saturday 6 May 1899 in the SMH of 8/5/1899 p.4 - trove.nla.gov.au/ndp/del/article/14213166 . Including a fine speech from J.H. Carruthers (Minister for Lands) who was a great James Cook enthusiast.
    " As the Plymouth Rock is the most sacred ground to the Americans, so may this historic place, rich in its traditions, be the one place in our island continent more consecrated than another to the great man who here first set foot upon our shores, and in his foresight secured for the empire and its people a territory unsurpassed in the whole universe.
