The Blackhead Point Signalling Station also known as Signal Hill was built in 1895. Having seen the blown-up shot on flickr, it would suggest the date of the photo is about 1881 as work on the hill for the Marine Police Station appears to be underway.

Have no idea what the matsheds on the beach are for.
