Bernhardt Otto Holtermann hired photographers to document Australia during its gold rush days. That photographic collection has been digitized by the New South Wales State Library, where you can browse them. A selection of these photographs have been paired with the same places as they appear now, which you can see and compare at the Herald Sun. Link -via Metafilter

Really good find! I'm amazed at the number of buildings that haven't changed much in 140 years. Looks like the original roof on the Great Western Store.
