Farm Cove from Kirribilli

from Powerhouse Museum

• BobMeade said:

  I think the four-funnelled cruiser is HMS Powerful, flagship of the Australian Station, 1905 - 1912

• beachcomber australia said:

  The ferry looks like the 'Waringa', 1894 - www.ferriesofsydney.com/waringa.html

• beachcomber australia said:

  I think you are right, Lifeasdaddy - it looks like HMS Powerful en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:HMSPowerfulCirca1905.jpg

• beachcomber australia said:

  Is the photographer standing in the grounds of Kirribilli House?

"Distant view of pier with lighthouse and houses taken from the sea" is Bray

  A wild upside-down guess - Bray ?

• John_McK1966 said:

  beachcomber australia Looks like Bray alright, although I think the lighthouse is long gone.

• Sharon Corbet said:

  beachcomber australia I think you might be right. Streetview from north pier. Then it's after 1897 when the lighthouse was built and before 1957 when it "fell into the sea during a storm."

• beachcomber australia said:

  I cheated! There's a companion 'similar item' identified as Bray and 1905. Mentions the Marine Station Hotel - catalogue.nli.ie/Record/vtls000524191

• beachcomber australia said:

  Fascinating beachcombing to the right of frame - "... The submerged forest of Bray was first noted by Robert Lloyd Praeger in the closing years of the 19th century. The construction of Bray Harbour between 1891 and 1895 changed the patterns of sediment transport in the south of Kiliney Bay causing a drop in beach level. As the beach level dropped, the ancient forest of Bray emerged from the sands to the north of Bray Harbour. Praeger noted a forest of collapsed “Scotch pine trees” amid a layer of peat. ..."
