Hello all,

Doing another trawl of Flickr tonight, I came across a small trove of newspaper clippings from the late 60s to the late 80s. Coverage includes construction and opening of the Warringah Expressway, Gore Hill Freeway, Sydney-Newcastle Freeway, F4, and some ambitious statewide plans.


fabianamuso has a massive collection on Flickr (over 400 pages) and would be well worth a look. I just searched for "Freeway" but there are sure to be other good clippings.

Some favourites of mine:

"Into the 21st century by road": https://flickr.com/photos/9560841@N06/51222315628/

"Follow this arrow and tear around the dotted line" (about the opening of the Warringah Expressway): https://flickr.com/photos/9560841@N06/51721642167/

Enjoy!

Vincent

Good find. I'm old enough to remember writing to the DMR in 1987 to get a whole set of the Roads 2000 plans!
