Martin Place, Sydney.
Then:
State Records NSW Digital ID: 17420_a014_a0140001110 "Construction of tram tracks at Martin Place, Sydney" (Photograph used with permission of the State Records Authority of New South Wales)
The photograph is undated, but the Holden motor car in the centre foreground of the photograph suggest that it was in the late 1940's to early 1950's. General Post Office (GPO) Sydney is the substantial building in the right foreground. The air compressor in the right foreground looks like the same model used to construct the wharf at Bennelong Point in 1950. However there were tram tracks along George Street in this position well before the 1940s, so this is probably a major track repair.
The Cenotaph can be seen in the centre of Martin Place, in the middle distance behend the tree.
