    I think it is before 1935 due to the lack of Luna Park. And the cars!

    This is the Strathaird of 1932 or the Strathnaver (1931), P&O sisters built for the England-Australia service and on it except for WW2 duties until their scrapping in Hong Kong in 1961. Checking the bow at max resolution, it looks more like the former name!

    FredV45 Brilliant! I vote for the 'Strathaird' and 31/12/1932, like this Frederick Wilkinson photo - en.wikipedia.org/wiki/RMS_Strathaird

    My father Harry Thomas Molyneux was apprenticed for four years with the Glasgow firm of A. Mackay and Company on this ship. He joined it in Hamburg and sailed for Santa Rosalia Mexico on 29 January 1911. The ship was built in 1890 by C.Connell and Company of Glasgow in 1890 and was shipping coke. The crew of thirty were made up of six british apprentices and two mates. The rest were German captain, Swedes Norwegians Danes Russians Finns an Austria and a Japanese steward. He stayed with this ship until 1914 and sailed round Cape Horn a few times.

    [http://www.flickr.com/photos/51979177@N02] Great investigating! That would place this photo as taken in May 1930, also I think it was taken at Millers Point, because of the wharves to the right.
