White City - 1971
Here is an old photo from the City of Sydney archives. It is pretty easy to search the archives but you have to be a little creative. The above photo is described "Victor Trumper Oval: view across the oval to the harbour in the distance". Hopefully the date is correct! It is listed as January 1971.
It is a pretty nice shot of White City, taken from an apartment building in Rushcutters Bay by the looks of it. Whites apartment building on Glenmore rd is quite prominent. Across the road from that, to the left of White City in the photo is what I understand was the old Firestone tyre factory. The big green awning of White City is sporting a nice Ampol banner and then behind that you see Cambridge street snaking up the hill.
