I forgot to post the photos of signs I took in Sydney! Here they are:
My first sign spotting: looking out the window of my hotel room
Johnson & Sons Pty Limited...something & grindery merchants
...wholesale and retail. I think it was on Elizabeth Street
Can't remember the location. Bathurst Street maybe?
Near my hotel - Griffiths Teas
A closer look
And on the other side. Griffiths Beverages would
have been a more fitting name
The old GPO - Pitt Street side
Also Pitt Street
The Australian Workers Union. I think this was Elizabeth Street too
King Street, Newtown. Continental delicatessen at the top,
ice cold on the left. I think it says Shelley's
in white above the windows, which I only worked
out after looking closely at the sign below
King Street again. Shelley's Famous Drinks.
Icy cold. Refreshes you faster! And a shell
with an E in it. Shell-ey, I guess!
Also King Street. It looks like Doumany & Son (bottom left),
then Kolotex and the nation's great nylons!
The Dew Drop Inn seems an odd name for an Asian restaurant.
It makes me think of the Three Little Bops
In case anyone thinks I have fantastic eyesight, it's only by zooming in that I can make out many of words on the first three Newtown signs. You can have a closer look by clicking on them to enlarge.

Brief visit and how well did you do to get so many old signs.
Very cool! Loved these glimpses of Sydney - much more picturesque then my memories of it.
