Property Advert of the Week: Hitter Homes Newspaper Advertisement (1969)

Below is a 1969 newspaper advertisement from Hitter Homes promoting a new estate at Wentworthville, along with house and land packages. It promotes "luxury homes" at Bass Hill, but cannot confirm if they are house and land packages or display homes. According to the RBA Inflation Calculator, house and land packages equate to spending as little as $ 163,000 in today's money.
