Below is a 1967 newspaper advertisement for the Park View Estate at Hammondville. The estate comprised streets including Sligar Avenue, Bradey Avenue, Norman Avenue, and Keato Avenue. Blocks retailed for a maximum of £1395 ($2790). According to the RBA Inflation Calculator, this would equate to spending $42,000 today.
