Plotting out '60s Annandale on a Lego Map

One of the challenges in writing the Annandale Short Walk books is developing the map.

This time round, I am seeing if Lego makes the task any easier. So, I have built a map of Annandale out of Lego and placed the information about the stops around it and lego people marking the stops.


As it happens, I have fond memories of playing with lego in the 1960s. There is also footage of my parents taking me to Legoland in Denmark circa 1963.

So, the stops - starting at the Toll Gate, Parramatta Road and finishing at Rozelle Bay where the form work for the platform for the Sydney Opera House was constructed.
