From whyilovemountdruitt Face Book Group ,
there has been a response from a former community member, providing a brief insight to the history of Mount Druitt, until 1981.
It is great to get local history from former community members or even current community members.
"I
lived at LETHBRIDGE Park on Luxford rd for nearly 12 years before that
I had friends in old Mt Druitt long before it got big .i'm talking
1962 and boy look at now the stories I could tell.Back
in 1962 there was not a lot there the main housing area was between the
hi- way and the railway line ,a level railway crossing where the old
shop's are and the train station the platform could only manage 2 rail
cars , there use to be a car racing
track on the north side before they started on the new estate . mt
Druitt was named after Major Druitt who had a land grant from colonial
times ,I moved from LETHBRIDGE Park in 1981 so I don't know what the
area needs are ken".
