Captain Manning on board the Kalang, July 1926, Arthur Ernest Foster

from State Library of New South Wales

• beachcomber australia said:

  Yes, it is Captain W. Manning, who skippered the new Sydney Harbour car ferry from Liverpool, arriving Monday 12/07/1926. They hit a gale off the Queensland coast which caused damage to the deck, as seen here. Read All About It ! - trove.nla.gov.au/newspaper/article/246352675

Shipping wool, Circular Quay

from Powerhouse Museum

• covid convict said:

  trove.nla.gov.au/newspaper/article/71593587 - this pic appeared in the Australian Town & Country Journal on 26th June, 1907, accompanying an article on the wool industry...this is the first publication that I've managed to find so far...
  
  In the background on the rhs we see the old Ship Inn, which (per the digitised newspapers) was demolished ca. March/April 1904...so this pic must have been taken before then...
  
  The old Ship Inn appears in this ANMM pic of Circular Quay...

Pest exterminators, Sydney, 1937

from State Library of New South Wales

• Blue Mountains Library, Local Studies said:

  Calcid contained hydrocyanic acid HCN. See - Instructions or Dealing with Rabbits (1937), which informs us that cyanide fumigation is extremely humane. - ocr.lib.ncsu.edu/ocr/mc/mc00456-001-bx0004-010-001/mc0045... The cyanide was released from the briquettes through a dust when they were placed in a grinder and pump, which appears to be the apparatus the chap on the left is holding. One will be relieved to know, from the above booklet, that the carcasses of rabbits killed with HCN are not poisonous and may be safely eaten by human beings and dogs; rats are not specifically mentioned.

  Blue Mountains Library, Local Studies Blue Mountains Library, Local Studies 😮 have to say given this - those safety masks seem a little light-on by today's standards.

• Blue Mountains Library, Local Studies said:

  State Library of New South Wales The nose clamps may help somewhat, if that's what they are. Then of course we have the white overalls with the neckties to avoid skin contact - a nice touch.

• Merryjack said:

  Unfortunately many native water rats, Rakali (Hydromys chrysogaster) were often caught up in these extermination exercises but we are unable to identify any in this display. Rakali appear in some of the 1900 Sydney plague photos by John Degotardi, the larger webbed feet and the furred tail with a white tip is the giveaway, see the larger animal in right foreground above the ruler here - dictionaryofsydney.org/media/2182 Identification - en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rakali
