TURNING BACK TIME

These remarkable photos were taken on farmland at Badgerys Creek in December 1955.

This particular farmland was purchased in 1936 by the Veterinary

Department of the University of Sydney, in association with the McGarvie Smith Institute.

The 160 hectare property was used for the training of veterinary students in animal husbandry, evolving over the decades that followed.

The farm became a mainstay in Badgerys Creek, but was caught up in airport-related development in recent years. These photos are a reminder of what Badgerys Creek once was, at a time when an international airport wouldn’t have been a thought. (Photos thanks to State Library NSW)
