    After 1891 (GPO clock etc) before 1895 (Colonial Secretary's Office dome added) - see notes.

    beachcomber australia Thanks Beachcomber, great to be able to narrow it to within four years :)

    Australian National Maritime Museum on The Commons Still trying to find the year ... not sure if "Intercolonial Boat Race" refers to the yachts or the rowing boats (which don't seem to be in any hurry).
  • Australian National Maritime Museum on The Commons said:
    beachcomber australia It is unclear isn't it? As you say the rowers do not look to be in a hurry, however the numbered yachts in the background seem to be all following the same course - so our guess is that it refers to the yachts too.

To throw something else into the mix, this 1885 ad (too early perhaps?) says H. MacCormack's shop is located on Mary st, nearby.
