Below is a 1997 newspaper advertisement for the Wondakiah Estate at Wollstonecraft. The estate is a brownfield development built on what was formerly the North Shore Gasworks which operated on the site between 1913 and 1987. Prior to that, the land was a sugar mill for Colonial Sugar Refinery (CSR) and was even an explosives factory.
In 1997, apartments were on offer from $395 000, but residents had access to resort-style facilities such as a marina, jetty, clubhouse, tennis courts, swimming pools, cafe, security and exotic gardens.
