ORCADES and streamers, by David Moore

    Wouldn't this be at Woolloomooloo. The tower thingy in the background would be in the Garden Island dockyard. Darling Harbour was all cargo. To my knowledge Woolloomooloo served passenger ships until the Overseas Terminal was built at Circular Quay.

    grahamH Hi Graham, thanks for your comment. The title of this image comes from the photographer himself, who worked near to Pyrmont (in Max Dupain's photography studio) at the time. Passenger liners did indeed leave from Pyrmont until the international traffic was moved to Wolloomooloo and then Circular Quay. This article on the Sydney Ports website has some info on the history of passenger wharfs in Sydney: bit.ly/PJqpQd

    Would that be a departure? She is flying the Blue Peter, the streamers are a departure tradition.

    Dale Hi Dale - thanks so much for this correction and helping to keep us honest. We do appreciate it.
