RAAF had its Seagull III fleet refurbished at Cockatoo Island in an effort to extend the life of the aircraft, which were being operated off Australian navy ships. A9-6 was scrapped in 1934. The backdrop to this photo is the Sydney suburb of Balmain, the dome peeking over the hilltop on the left being the courthouse. Photo from: State Library of Victoria
