Electronic copy of the 1990 Gregory's Sydney Street Directory

[mubd1234]

A few days ago I bought an exceptionally well priced car. Enclosed in the glovebox was a Gregory's Maxi Street Directory from 1990 (which I found odd because the car was manufactured in 1998). The binding was in serious disrepair, but the maps within were in excellent condition, so I thought I would take it apart page by page and scan it. If there's any interest, I can also scan the Newcastle, Canberra and Wollongong sections. Enjoy!

Good score! Recently I bought a nice Gregory’s 1990 Sydney Street Directory for 5 bucks at a second-hand shop. Perfect condition :D

Thanks for uploading that. I once had a Gregory's from around that time but is lost now. I do have a Q about what is currently Homebush Bay Drive, was there ever an official or signposted name for this blank section of road - HBD?

I still have my 1987 edition Sydney Gregory's, which I bought only a week or so after moving there. It's still in good condition too. Anybody want it? I'm happy to give it away.

I'll be happy to be the new owner of it lijman!

Will pay for the postage, or if you're in Sydney I can meet up?

Hmmm, may be I should auction it. What am I bid?

Lol.....;)

I've just realised I may have gotten the date wrong - there's an interchange at Centenary Drive/Homebush Bay Drive, which according to Ozroads opened in 1992, so would the directory date to at least 1992?

I always suspected that the way it is shown in the Gregorys (I have maps of a similar vintage) suggests that they were showing it before it actually opened - no road name etc.
