- The 1947 NSW Census shows only 1,417 persons were in the town & suburbs of Port Macquarie on 30th June.
- However, the past 70 odd years have seen massive road, commercial & residential sub-division housing developments take place, with the entire City & suburbs now having a Census population of 45,698 in June 2016 (ie: 32.2x the pop in 1947).
***************************
SOURCE INFO
- The original image is from a pack of 11 that were originally purchased by my late parents, when they had an extended stay in Port Macquarie & surrounds during the 1947 Xmas public holiday period.
****************************
PROCESS INFO
- Digitized using a Canon Canoscan 8800F scanner.
- Restored from the very grainy, scratched & faded original B&W print quality using Adobe Photoshop CS Windows (sepia duo-tone version).
