St" is I think looking East along the Terrace from just past the Cloisters. There were large trees Moreton Bay Ficus (?) at the front of the Cloisters, and the sign on the building opposite reads DODGE backwards. Winterbottom motors were on the corner of Mill St, and I seem to remember were agents for Dodge trucks. The number of obviously American vehicles parked nearby would seem to support this. The white building on the corner opposite would be the old Adelphi hotel site. As an ex Telstra/Telecom/PMG employee who spent quite a bit of my spare time delving through these negatives, including the old glass ones, it would not surprise me to find errors in the listing. The original titles often required some thought as to what or where they were, the intent behind the picture often having an engineering basis. For example, the photo under discussion may have been taken to survey underground cable access. Photo “St Georges Tce & Hay(?)
