The caption to this photo says the aircraft was from HMAS Geranium, a survey ship. The location is unclear, with the suggestion it may be on Pittwater on Sydney's northern outskirts. However it is far more likely to be Sydney Harbour and the headland in the background may be Middle Head. Geranium and A10-2 were brought together on Sydney Harbour after it was decided aircraft would be useful for survey work ahead of the mapping of reefs in Northern Australia.
