Description

Photo taken from on top of a Gas Holder (hence the great height) at the corner of Pitt Street and what was then Gipps St West and Garden Road, looking SE across the Old Cemeteries towards Surry Hills. The whole area was resumed and flattened to make Central Station in the early 1900s. Eddy Avenue roughly follows Garden Road.

Easier to understand when looking at this interactive 1895 map of Sydney, which shows the tram route and depot http://www.nla.gov.au/apps/cdview?pi=nla.map-rm3443-sd&rgn=0.3418884664,0.4464162249,0.5320025349,0.5846969348&width=1200&cmd=pan&y=1200

The picture could be as early as 1880 - the original steam tram was built between Sydney Terminus and Circular Quay to take people to the Exhibition at the Garden Palace from 1879.
