The Federation of the Commonwealth of Australia celebrations held in Sydney during 1901 saw many arches erected through the city and down Oxford Street. This is the German arch, and it was erected in Park Street. Hyde Park can be seen to the left and right of shot. The two disc shaped bas-reliefs on the columns show at left "Germania" and at right "Australia". (location ref. City of Sydney archvies - www2.photosau.com/CosSQL/scripts/ExtSearch.asp?SearchTerm... ) The central slogan which is only visible through at the persistant URL is 'EINIGKEIT-MACHT-STARK". Literally, "Agreement makes strong."

Now that we know another arch, the 'Commonwealth Arch" (shown here: www.flickr.com/photos/powerhouse_museum/3129855980/ ) was on the corner of Elizabeth Street and Park Street, and that the Commonwealth Arch arch is visible in the background of this photograph then we can say that the view shown in this photograph is looking west along Park Street.

The reverse view of this arch, with a different main slogan in English can be seen here: www.flickr.com/photos/old_parliament_house/3230766690/in/...

Thank you...

DannyM8 You're very welcome! That's the official February photo with dog, but will do my best to include more...

I think she's actually giving that horse some sort of gypsy curse or the evil eye or similar.

Lots of cars up the street.

It think that's John's Street.Streetview

O Mac It is indeed. There're lovely street signs up on the corner behind the cross.

So there is!!.... The gas lighting looks abandoned. No mantle, no glass, bent poles. That thingimabob far right is a "Tumbling Paddy". Used for gathering up loose hay. When so much was gathered it flipped itself and off it went so on.

The Market Cross has been moved up to the Heritage Centre (formerly the 1801 Courthouse).
