From farmland to suburbia: Aerial photos 10 years apart show incredible transformation Yahoo7 News 13 August 2018
Incredible aerial photos have revealed the dramatic transformation of land, infrastructure and homes across western Sydney over the past 10 years. Last week, Australia’s population hit 25 million despite experts previously predicting it was not expected to reach the milestone for a few more decades. Nearmap executive Shane Preston said with the Australian government planning to invest $2.9 billion over the next 10 years to accommodate the booming population, more and more change can be expected. The aerial shots, snapped of Sydney’s western suburbs including Box Hill, Parramatta and Penrith, already show the dramatic reduction in land to make room for houses, stadiums and train stations.
