Wharves near Spencer Street
This view of Queens Wharf is to the south-west, featuring the area between Queen and King streets. In the distance, the South Melbourne Town Hall, constructed in 1881, can be seen. The green verge running across the centre of the picture marks the location of the embankment of the Port Melbourne and St Kilda railways. Disembarking passengers can also be seen near the Huddart Parker Line wharf, and the newly constructed railway viaduct linking Spencer Street and Flinders Street station is clearly visible in the foreground.
