100 year old Photos #14 - Sydney

I think these photos are taken in and around Sydney - The garden settings are possibly the Botanical Gardens and the waterfalls, somewhere in the Blue Mountains. I'm not sure. You can see in the 5th photo - the Sydney Harbour Bridge, still under construction. The photo is after the 1st October 1930 - as per this picture If you can shed any light on the other photos I would be very grateful! Thank-you

  1. The last one looks like it was taken from Sydney's Botanic Gardens.

  2. Hi Andrew, That's the general consensus - Just trying to locate an 'exact' match as possible to confirm that is the case. I thought I spotted the likeness, but I lost it :-/ and now have to try and relocate before posting.

    Thanks for the comments!

  3. The last one could be Rushcutters Bay - see http://mw2.google.com/mw-panoramio/photos/medium/24228206.jpg but I would suggest the pic was taken off Mrs Macquarie Chair road. http://www.bing.com/maps/default.aspx?v=2&cp=9bpn1jxm1dbb&scene=43618514&lvl=1&sty=b&where1=Rushcutters%20Bay%2C%20Australia
