1947

In 1947 this is farmland: fenced paddocks, scattered gum trees and a creek winding through, with Windsor Road running across the frame and a few farm buildings beside it.

2013

By 2013 Rouse Hill Town Centre sits beside the road, and housing estates fill most of the paddocks on both sides. The creek is still there, kept as a strip of bush.
