Flashback Friday: 1963
 The more things change: Christine Holman has been
trawling through the dusty vaults at Blacktown for
#flashbackfriday pics for social media and unearthed a
veritable treasure trove. Here’s the original Blacktown
Hospital under construction in 1963 (above) and we’re
still growing in 2014!
Mount Druitt Car Park
As for the other pics, stay tuned as we roll them out
ahead of the birthday celebrations next year.

HOLE is for? No, it’s not a swimming pool,
amphitheatre, crater or landing site for the
Rosetta project. It’s our retention tank.
