The writing on the sign looking off was the first thing I noticed. The truly damning evidence is that the only place to get a photograph of the Sydney Opera house and the Harbour Bridge together in the angle shown is from Mrs Macquaries’s chair which much further away than shown in the photo. Maybe m there’s some trickery that can be done with a camera to make the Opera House look closer, still there’s a problem as there is no metal fence where this was supposedly taken.
edit2: actually looking at the first pic again that footpath isn’t bricks; that’s the shadow from the railing; it’s just concrete
Yeah I noticed that too after writing my own comment. But still, the railing sits on a big concrete foundation, and it’s pretty clearly right on the water. Near Mrs Macquarie’s Chair the railing doesn’t have the metal wire, doesn’t sit on the concrete foundation, and is notably raised up above the water.
the camera angle for the photo is taken from pretty low down… the cameras for the walking rigs for street view style cameras are all mounted on backpacks, above the persons head
i’m not sure, but i think that could account for the difference in visibility of shrubbery and outcropping

*edit: although that doesn’t have the right kind of footpath
