'60s Annandale: A Short Walk
'60s Annandale: A Short Walk
Marghanita da Cruz
In the 1860s much of Annandale was still covered in
Bushland. The Johnstons had begun subdividing their
1799 Land Grant. There were a few houses and
industries along Parramatta Road and on the water
front.
'60s Annandale: A Short Walk takes you back to
Annandale of the 1860s and 1960s.
The 1960s saw the building of modern red brick
houses and flats on vacant land or where Victorian
houses were demolished. The demolition of these
houses lead to the formation of the Annandale
Association. Expressways were threatening but Green
Bans and Community Activism over the next 10 years
saved Annandale.
Annandale of the 1960s was Bohemian place and the
Annandale Imitation Realists came together and
created art which would incorporate found objects.
'60s Annandale is Marghanita da Cruz's 8th book in a
series which present Annandale's history as a series
of short walks.
