Thread: Sad Photo

That is sad. This joint is turning into a toilet!

I've got a bit of Amaroo, HMAS Nirimba (old Schofields Aerodrome) and Hoxton Park..... I know people have to live somewhere but where's the infrastructure to support it (apart from toll roads). The place looks like Lego land from the air.

Maybe I just don't like change

Thanks for posting the photo

Sad photo, but it brings back some fond memories. Some no so good as well as it is where I wrote my old XAGT off. (rule 1 - never race your street car)

Matt, I spent a fair bit of time at Amaroo as well as many years at Nirimba. What was significant at Hoxton Park.

Hi Paul.

Hoxton Park was a small airport in, what was once, the sticks. Then the devlopers moved in and built houses all around it - then someone crashed into another aircraft and fell onto a house - then cries went out about an airport being so close to residences - then it closed so a motorway could go ahead and that was that.

Yeah, Amaroo was great - lots of memories, as with Oran Park.

Good times

Hoxton Park ...... did ag blasting there on my powderman's course.... launched a eucalyptus like a scud missile ... "a bit too much anfo in those charge holes I think Mick.."
