Below is a 1971 newspaper advertisement promoting the sale of homes in the "Lani Gardens" complex in Bexley. Prices for villas started from $19,750, which would be equivalent to around $272,000 today (RBA Inflation Calculator).

Property Advert of the Week: McArthur Court, Monterey (1968)

It's not often I come across a property ad for a street that either I live (or have) resided in. This week, I head to my childhood neighborhood of Robinson Street, Monterey.  In 1968 villas in McArthur Court were on sale. As pointed out recently, Monterey did not become a suburb until 1972, and in this advertisement, Robinson Street happens to be in Brighton-Le-Sands.

The exact address is 39-41 Robinson Street, Monterey.
