A nice bit of colouring on the card but it must have been spectacular back on the day itself?

Swordscookie I think it would have been very impressive. There was also a massive firework display on the Harbour. Read All About It - including an engraving of the scene at the Town Hall (half an hour later!!) - trove.nla.gov.au/ndp/del/page/1312681

I like the ghosts the lighting is giving off.

The USS Astoria saw action in a number of Pacific war zones, including the Battle of the Coral Sea, and was eventually sunk in the Battle of Savo Island off the Solomon Islands August 1943. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/USS_Astoria_(CA-34)

Andy Brill Thank you for that information AndyBrii, we will be uploading more photographs from the USS ASTORIA visit to Sydney so please stay tuned!

Typo: USS Astoria (and sisters USS Vincennes and USS Quincy) were sunk in Aug 1942 along with HMAS Canberra. All the wrecks remain in Ironbottom Sound, Solomons, at least two of them leaking oil.
