    It was the unveiling of the new statue of Queen Victoria as part of the Centenary celebrations on Tuesday 24 January 1888. Read all about it - SMH 26/1/1888 p.5 - trove.nla.gov.au/ndp/del/page/1391390 Henry King was also there, somewhere on the right with a black cloth over his head ...

    beachcomber australia I'm thinking that one was a bit easy, huh :) It's a great photo, all that bustle and movement has been captured, it must have been an exciting day.. Thanks for the info - we'll update the caption. AB

    Museums of History NSW - State Archives Collection Never too easy - just that I have been there before with the Henry King photo. I remember three years ago having huge problems trying to find what the occasion was (when Trove was young).

    This is a good one for a game of "spot the difference"!

    Museums of History NSW - State Archives Collection Nearly got me there ... I thought from the thumbnail it was one of your rare duplicated posts!

    Wondering where the "Recreation Ground" was. What's the building behind? Church / courthouse to the right?

    beachcomber australia from Children's institutions in nineteenth-century Sydney by John Ramsland, 2011, Dictionary of Sydney:
    A recreation ground was set up for the boys on Cockatoo Island adjacent to the ship's moorage, and a saltwater tidal baths was erected beside it. Larger pets such as an emu were kept on the fringes of the recreation grounds and smaller pets such as dogs and cockatoos were kept aboard ship to be cared for there.

    Although not digitised, the Powerhouse Museum description would indicate their entry is for the same photo -
    The boys are shown playing cricket and doing gymastics. An Emu is seated in the middle of the ground.
    which would date this photo to 1894, and not long before 14 June -
    The donor, Captain Frederick William Neitenstein, superintendent of the Sobraon, states in a letter to the Museum, 14 June 1894, that the photographs P1835:P1854 are "just received from the Government Printer".
