Appears to have all its wartime modifications, the larger bridge structure the most obvious. On its post war first visit to New Zealand I'd say.

Trainiac I think you are right, HMS NEW ZEALAND spent some time in Sydney in mid-1919 during a world tour, and that is probably the time that this image was taken.
Horatio J. Kookaburra said:
This will be July 1919 when NEW ZEALAND brought Admiral Lord Jellicoe to Australia in the course of his world tour preparing a report for the British Admiralty on the future of the Dominion Navies [that is, largely whether they should be developed as national navies or enfolded in an Empire defence arrangement as branches of the Royal Navy. A very wise, far-seeing and decent man, Jellicoe recommended the former]. [Please note I am searching for a companion image here where I brain-fadedly identified the Indefatigable Class battlecruiser - with Union Jack on her flagstaff - as sistership HMAS AUSTRALIA I] during the Prince of Wales visit in May 1920. It's not. There were other clear indicators, the presence of newly-arrived submarine J5, to show it was July 1919]. .

My granddad served on HMS New Zealand, and I has his photo album with some photos that he took during his visit to Sydney in 1919 and photos of Admiral Jerricoe with Lord and lady Liverpool
