    Not a scrap of vegetation anywhere, not even a weed.

    I wonder if the pram the boy is wheeling was a common type - it's so different to the strollers/prams of today.

    Museums of History NSW - State Archives Collection Yes, it looks like a wooden collapsible or foldable. Could not find much about the history of prams, except this, "The First Perambulator" !

    My family were living at 63 Gloucester St when this photo was taken. The boy and the baby could actually be my family members, they're the right age and I could name them. The boy is looking back at the women up the street.

    It would be beneficial to the NSW RFS to place a date on the photo and ascertain the particular time of year. The smoke visible towards Taronga Park Zoo could provide planning of Hazard Reduction Burning regimes.

    mick.leon It's unfortunate that many of these images have lost some of the information associated with them over time. These photographs were taken by officers of the Government Printing Office during the years c.1870-c.1920. Hopefully we'll get some discussion here on Flickr that might narrow down the date for us.

    An extraordinary number of white navy ships are visible (at least 10) . Could be the visit of the 16 ships of the US 'Great White Fleet' to Sydney in 1908. Seen here:

    mick.leon Whisky Tango Foxtrot ?

    Andy Brill I think you are right.

    Late August (winter) 1908, it that helps mick.leon with the "planning of Hazard Reduction Burning regimes". The smoke is from the ships in a southerly breeze.

    beachcomber australia Well spotted beachcomber. mick.leon If you look at the original image size [Actions - View all sizes], what looks at first glance like smoke emanating from the distant headland on the other side of the harbour, is revealed to be smoke from the ships of the Great White Fleet.

    As AndyBrii has noted the Colonial Secretary's Office, and it is still there on the corner of Bridge and Macquarie St.
