[Update: I've changed the date to 1927 now, based on IDJ's comments below.]

I've used the '1930s' date as given on Flickr, but I'm wondering if it should be back around 1926-7 when the Peninsula was under construction. The building doesn't look finished yet, and there's a small temporary building where the fountain is today. Can anyone help?

Regards, David

North Point looking very different from today, with a Power Station and a wharf for loading and unloading containers. They're remembered in the local street names, Electrc Road and Wharf Road.
