Two Kings Cross Pictures - 2

"Displaying Australia and New Guinea" was published in 1945 by the Australia
Story Trust, 75-77 Pitt St., Sydney. Compiled by George J Tennent and William O
Hay, it was designed as a souvenir for departing US servicemen and printed in
the USA.

Filenames are derived from page numbers.

Shot in the opposite direction from the previous picture, Kings Cross looking
south along Darlinghurst Road. William Street climbs from the city at right,
and the mystery track northward can be glimpsed beneath the truck wheels in the
foreground. The tram entering the Cross from Bayswater Road is headed for ____
Street, while the outbound one is signed "Kings Cross."

According to a map, the round-galleried building in the left background in the
gore between Darlinghurst Road and Victoria Street must be a fire station.

It seems likely construction of the Kings Cross vehicular tunnel and approaches
would have wiped out everything in this picture.
