Caption "A Different Perspective" exhibition. Vaniman struggled to find a suitable elevated viewpoint to record the city and began experimenting in October 1903 with a balloon imported from America. He had to wait until a clear day without factory smoke and no wind. The balloon was tethered 180 metres above Dr John Hay's house at 'the Crow's Nest' [North Sydney]
