Below is a 1964 newspaper advertisement promoting a land release at Engadine. It is not explicitly stated in the advertisement as to where in the suburb the land release was located, but interested buyers were to meet a sales representative at the intersection of (old) Princes Highway & Railway Parade (Princes Highway). This is the intersection where KFC Engadine is located today.

A £50 ($100) deposit was required to secure blocks ranging from £795 ($1590) to £1150 ($2300). In today's money, that would range from around $28 100 to around $40 650 (RBA Inflation Calculator).
