  The front, orange car in the number one lane is an Opel GT. It was a two-seater with a small engine. There was an extra handle that looked sort of like a parking brake handle. When you pulled it the headlamps flipped up. [https://www.flickr.com/photos/82046831@N00/5947645723/]

  Museums of History NSW - State Archives Collection [http://www.flickr.com/photos/61271636@N05] Did you notice the name of the street heading east from the roudabout? I've marked it with a note ... Warringah Highway! The Warringah Freeway which emerges here now was officially opened in 1968! I'm beginning to think Dr Bradfield was perhaps the greatest visionary ever to work for the NSW Public Service. Incredible!

  John Cowper Curiouser and curiouser ...

• John Cowper said:

  pellethepoet I wonder if some public servant picked up Bradfield's 1924 plans, dusted them off, and reworked them in the 1950s and 60s!

  John Cowper Visionary or megalomaniac? I think if he had his way the whole city would be covered in expressways, railways, bridges, and wharves, with no room for houses, parks, and people. Sydney might have become as soulless as Los Angeles.
