Photographer seems to have been in one of the Kambala School buildings looking over no.12 Tivoli Avenue. I think the Rose Bay Flying Boat Base (1938) is probably the main interest.

At a time when aircraft range was short, and airfields were few, flying boats could be landed just about anywhere with a large body of water and fuel, and so were adopted by Qantas Empire Airways for the Brisbane-Southampton route from 1934, and the 31-leg route from Sydney (Rose Bay) to Southampton from 1938. The 32nd leg was a further 130km train or road trip to London. Qantas HQ transferred from Brisbane to Rose Bay in 1938. Qantas crews flew only as far as Singapore, where Imperial Airways crews flew the remaining legs to Southampton. Whilst Rose Bay was Sydney's main international flight departure point from 1938 to around 1944, obviously international non-flying boat aircraft used Mascot from 1928 and right through Rose Bay's prominence. Qantas started using Liberator aircraft from Mascot from 1944, and Constellations from 1947, and the flying boat service quickly declined due firstly to WWII, and later from huge advances in conventional aircraft design and speed. Imperial Airways became the British Overseas Airways Corporation (BOAC) in 1939 which in turn became British Airways in 1974.
