“In 1945, the Sydney Metropolitan area ended at Tom Uglies Bridge, behind Hazelhurst. There were a few remote dairy and poultry farms, grazing lands and market gardens… Flannel flowers, banksia, ti-tree, freesias, gum-tips, calliopsis, and blackberries all grew in profusion at the roadside, where many small farms sold their produce at stalls as well as sending it to the markets.*”
