Bob McKillop has sent these pictures of historic rail mounted dockside
cranes from his visit to the Cockatoo Dockyard in October 2010, there are
more pictures of cranes here on the main Australian
Railway Cranes page, see also the official website - http://www.cockatooisland.gov.au.
Some idea of the 'Broad Gauge' can be got from this picture:

This Powerhouse & Whyalla crane North Yard was moved from the Whyalla shipyard to Cockatoo Island for the main slipway there during WWII:
The Austerity crane beyond them on the 1857 Fitzroy Dock is WWII vintage:
