Below is a 1967 newspaper advertisement for home units in Hillsdale. Buyers were expected to meet the builders in Flint Street. Apartments were on sale from £4350 pounds or $8700. This would be equivalent to around $116 500 in today's money according to the RBA Inflation Calculator.

Note: Decimal Currency was introduced on 14 February 1966, however advertisements could publish prices in pounds, pence and shillings for two years following its introduction to help consumers adapt to the changeover.
