The presence of The Garden Palace in the background dates this photo to between 1879 and 1882, when it was destroyed by fire. Museums of History NSW - State Archives Collection You should add it to your gallery - gallery.records.nsw.gov.au/index.php/galleries/garden-pal...

Museums of History NSW - State Archives Collection Thanks for posting this wonderful picture, a favourite from Series 4481. I like the man doing impressive things with his hose, and the impression that the fairies at the bottom of this Garden live in a magical Palace. pellethepoet Well spotted! I have an idea that many of the series of Botanic Gardens photos are much earlier than thought, early 1880s. See comments here -

pellethepoet Good idea; I'm sure the Garden Palace has been 'noted' in other photos, too. AB

This is one of four 'Seasons' statues which appear to have been imported from Italy by monumental mason Job Hanson for the Sydney International Exhibition of 1879-80...these 'Seasons' statues were on display in what was known as the Gardens Palace section of the Sydney Botanic Gardens in the later 19th and earlier 20th centuries......see comments here www.flickr.com/photos/193158484@N02/52465090959/ This statue of 'Summer' also appears in these pics www.flickr.com/photos/powerhouse_museum/2515551200/ www.flickr.com/photos/193158484@N02/52475413822/ www.flickr.com/photos/statelibraryofnsw/14604176778/ www.flickr.com/photos/193158484@N02/52471625622/

Only the flags have changed . . . and maybe the second story windows on the left?

"Government House is located in Sydney alongside the Royal Botanic Gardens, overlooking Sydney Harbour, just south of the Sydney Opera House. Constructed between 1837 and 1843, the property has been the official residence of the Governor of New South Wales since Sir George Gipps in 1845, except for two brief periods; the first between 1901 to 1914, when the property was leased to the Commonwealth of Australia as the residence of the Governor-General of Australia,[1] and the second from 1996 to 2011.

Thanks to both of you for the photo and the great background information. We'll add some of the information to the record the next time we update.
