In 1966, ninety pounds ($180) bought you a block of land at Padstow Heights. Road access had improved during the 1960s following the completion of the bridge over Salt Pan Creek in 1962, providing residents with easy access to Hurstville. Note that the price is advertised in pounds, which was legally permitted for two years following the decimalisation of currency earlier that year.
