Any one that has had a past life in the Sutherland Shire might find this site interesting

https://mapping.ssc.nsw.gov.au/Sutherland/

You are able to look back through old aerial photography back to the 30s (for some areas)

I spent a few hours on there last night looking at the places I lived, my old schools and the homes of my friends. A trip down amnesia lane.

Thank you.

thanks for that Bushie, it goes back to when I was a kid when an expedition to Cronulla was a big event - before the railway line!

.... and the railway extension to National Park (Audley) was in use !

Gee, you must be old

. I know it was there in the '50's, albeit a single line. Just googled this and the line actually opened in December 1939.

To be pedantic, the National Park Line didn't go to Audley.

For those on here who are fortunate enough not to live in the 'shire', a lot of Sydney from 1943 is covered on this site:
