Simply stunning with very good details and depth. Top drawer shot and worthy museum piece.

AT LAST I FOUND IT!
Over a year of puzzling it out. Not easy when you have never been there and you are 400 kms away. But thanks to Google maps, satellite photos, and Google Street view, I can say that it is ...
BALLAST POINT, Birchgrove, looking north-west to Snail's Bay.
Most of the houses on the left are still standing, and a trip along Wharf Street using Google Street View will confirm roof lines, chimneys, etc match this photo. Btw Powerhouse Museum Collection, the houses are definitely NOT "Federation style"; late Victorian Italianate (and some earlier) is more like it.
Where the three gents are sitting, Ballast Point, shows up as a deserted Texaco / Caltex site on the satellite picture. Just last year (11/7/2009) it was again declared a public park. Pity this photo was not identified for that. I imagine the rock the gents are on has long been quarried away, but a field trip and now photo would be terrific. Anyone nearby?

Well done beachcomberaustralia. A well-deserved eureka moment!
I might catch a ferry out there soon and see what I can see. Stay tuned. -

Here's a bit of digital fun - travel there in 3D via Google Maps Earth plugin (takes a while to load, be patient!) -
