We are intrigued by this photo Mosman Bay Falls and are trying to find out where this image may have been taken. Are these falls in Mosman?

Let us know if you have any clues!

I suspect they are no longer in that form. The fact that several other photographs in the Tyrell collection at Mosman Bay were taken in the area that is now Reid Park (which was reclaimed) suggest that this may be from the Reid Park area prior to reclaimation.

But I'm quite unsure.

See also this real estate advertisement for "Waterfall Estate" in Mosman, and the photograph of "The enchanting waterfalls that come alive with rain transform the estate into a mystic rainforest.":

The property address, 2C Park Avenue, Mosman is just above Reid Park.

Due to your great investigation we contacted the real estate to ask them about the falls. They are convinced it is the same area and invited us to come and photograph the falls. Stay posted and we will upload what we shot soon.

Thanks

I've spoken to a friend who worked for Mosman Council, and knows the parks and reserves quite well. He believes that the only currently existing waterfall in Mosman is the one in Reid Park, and it only flows during or after rainfall.

That's great. With all the recent rain in Sydney I think we have been lucky to catch the falls in action.

We have a posted a couple of shots in our other account taken from the Reid Park area which shows how the Mosman Bay Falls look today.
