POTTS POINT PROPERTIES TO MAKE WAY FOR SOCK - PARADE OF ARMY EQUIPMENT - MODEL FOR YARALLA HOSPITAL
Sydney Morning Herald (NSW : 1842 - 1954), Friday 13 December 1940, page 12
A view of the waterfront at Potts Point, showing properties to be compulsorily acquired by the Commonwealth Government to facilitate the construction of the Sydney graving dock. No. 4 Macleay St (on extreme left) will not be acquired, out vacant land between it & the water will be acquired. The property shown
on the extreme right has been already taken over.
The plan shows the location of properties at Potts Point which are to be acquired, & also those which have been acquired.
A complete range of army mechanised equipment was paraded before thousands of people in the city yesterday to aid the £28,000,000 "Freedom" Loan. Above: Light tanks in the parade. Right: One of the powerful searchlights used by anti-aircraft batteries. These throw the beams which are seen nightly searching the sky. A new type of stretcher for use by the
Yachtsmen's Auxiliary of the National Emergency Services was demonstrated yesterday before the Minister in Charge of N.E.S., ¡~ Mr. Bruxner. The picture shows a "patient" being lowered on the stretcher from a harbourfront building. It is light, & can be
handled in confined spaces.
Two views of the proposed multi-storied Yaralla Military Hospital at Concord are shown by these photographs of a model especially built for constructional purposes. Above: A general view from the air, with the main block & administrative building in the foreground. Below: The south-easterly aspect
of the main block. (Pictures by Department of Interior.)
