A GEM OF A HOUSE FROM YESTERYEAR - It's the first time offered to the market in 66 years!
A rare find on a bowling green block. Originally purchased in 1951 for the princely sum of 250 pounds as vacant land, and part of a land grant acquisition. Never has this property been presented for sale, having been occupied by it's original owners and builders.
This rock solid home was built with the intention of being a 2-storey so, the foundations are double brick into the bedrock. The family worked together to build a beautiful family home, often working late into the evenings after their day jobs , moving bricks and sand etc. to save costs where subcontractors had to be used. A modest but functional home was built for themselves and their 2 children, who are now looking to pass on a piece of their family history to a new family. The interior finishes were all done by the husband having studied woodwork at school and higher education. You only have to look inside the wardrobes to see the work of a craftsman for yourself.
A double brick home that will be cool in summer and hold the warmth in winter.
Beautiful cypress pine floors that were covered have been restored to their original glory. The home was rewired some years ago and bathroom and laundry re vamped. The enormous backyard is yours to utilise an any way you can envisage. Centrally located to rail and bus transport, University and schools, shopping meccas and countless leisure pursuits. What better place to invest in your future dreams? With a substantial footprint would allow a second storey to be added to this home giving you views for kilometres as well as ample space for a growing family. The linen cupboard is in the void created for a staircase. Sydney's North shore skyline could be seen originally from the front gate.

Latrobe Golf Club - 4th Hole
Hole 4 requires an accurate tee shot to a narrow landing area.
The best shot is just right of centre, to open up the green. Be careful of hitting too long too far left -- the water hazard is waiting for such shots. Longer hitters may be best to use an iron off the tee to avoid this fate. The second shot is to a smallish green with quite a narrow target area: left of the green is a bunker, right is down in a little swale next to a very large river gum tree. The green slopes consistently from left to right so once you are on the green you should take no more than two putts.

Latrobe Golf Club - 2nd Hole
The second hole provides a tight tee-shot towards the river all the way down the left side.
Over-exuberant drives may find the water, although you may be lucky to have the ball stopped by two bunkers. A slight left-to-right second shot around tall trees can help set up a short pitch to a sloping green. A good birdie opportunity for most golfers who can keep the ball on the fairway.

Parramatta Sydney Then and Now
A video I made as part of my Year 12 Visual Arts major work comparing scenes around Parramatta Sydney, using footage from a 1957 film in the National Film and Sound Archive’s collection and my own footage taken in the same locations 61 years later, side by side.
1957 footage, History was Made at Parramatta: Australia Colour Diary 4 from the NFSA can be viewed here:
My footage was filmed between January and April 2018 on a Sony RX100 Mk 3 camera and this video was edited and put together using Adobe After Effects.
LOCATIONS WITH TIMESTAMPS:
0:06 aerial shot. 1957 – I am unsure what direction this is looking, maybe South-West? If you recognise where this is, or what direction it is facing please comment below. 2018 – filmed from the Meriton Altitude Apartments in Church Street looking towards Sydney CBD.
0:11 Church Street pan shot, looking South. Some of the original buildings remain on the right. In the distance you can see the side of the twin spires of St John's Anglican Church. The street is now a single one way lane at this section.
0:18 1957 - Grace Bros Department store. 2018 - Westfield Shopping Centre, corner of Argyle and Church Streets.
0:21 1957 – Holden House/Fair Deal Holden. 2018 – building abandoned for new apartment buildings development, 65 Church Street/Great Western Highway. You can still see the place where the Holden sign once was, on the top right.
0:25 1957 – Parramatta and Granville Electrical Supply Company building. 2018 – Office building, corner of Macquarie and Smith Streets.
0:28 James Houison’s cottage, 62 Macquarie Street. Now surrounded by tall buildings and used as Ray White office.
0:37 Roseneath Cottage, corner O’Connell and Ross Streets.
0:43 Elizabeth Farm. In the original film, the first two shots were filmed from the back of the house, however today this view is obscured by trees in front of the stone wall. Instead I filmed from the front of the house on Alice Street which is visually similar when the footage was flipped later in editing (you can notice this with the reversed lettering on the sign in my footage).
0:53 Old Government House, Parramatta Park
0:56 The Governor’s Bath House, Parramatta Park. On the left in both years is the Boer War Memorial and Court House pillars.
0:58 Corner of Church and Palmer Streets. 1957 – Congregational Church. 2018 - Bridal Secrets shop.
1:02 All Saints Anglican Church, Victoria Road/Elizabeth Street.
1:13 Queens Wharf Reserve sandstone wharf by the Parramatta River. I filmed a few metres further up from the 1957 film, as the view of the river is now obscured by trees in that position. The original sandstone blocks are now in amongst a muddy mangrove and can still be seen at times when the tide is out. The metal rings are gone.
1:22 Boundary marker stone on Alfred Street, near Weston Street. One of nine in Parramatta. The stone was moved away from the kerb because of cars damaging it.
1:28 The Old King's School building and parade grounds, 24A O’Connell Street. It is now O’Connell Street Public School (filmed with permission).
1:55 Wistaria Gardens, next to Parramatta Park and part of the Cumberland Hospital. Unfortunately because of the timing of the HSC year, I was unable to film this in Spring when the Wisteria flowers were out, as seen in the 1957 film.
2:14 Speed boat races on the Parramatta River at Silverwater/Ermington, near the Silverwater Bridge. 1957 – Silverwater Naval Stores. 2018 – Unit blocks
2:33 1957 - aerial shot of Pennant Hills Road, near James Ruse Drive. 2018 – aerial shot looking at Victoria Road, from the Meriton Altitude Apartments on Church Street.
2:34 1957 – I am unsure what direction this is looking, aerial shot looking somewhere west, towards the Blue Mountains? 2018 – aerial shot looking north-east, from the Meriton Altitude Apartments on Church Street.
2:39 1957 – A Reddit user identified this house as 107 Bettington Road Oatlands, near the Oatlands Golf Club entrance. 2018- aerial of buildings, Parramatta wharf and Macarthur Street Bridge from the Meriton Altitude Apartments on Church Street.
2:42 1957 – Cooramilla. I think this house might be at 114 Pennant Hills Road, Oatlands. 2018 – pan shot of the Meriton Altitude Apartments in Church Street which is where the David Jones once was.
