    Default Brilliant.

    This was sent to me by a mate who is also a bit of a history buff.

    I thought it was brilliant and thought some of you may also.

    Drag your mouse over each picture to see how that area looks today, and back.



    Amazing!

    LEFT CLICK , HOLD IT AND DRAG YOUR MOUSE GENTLY FROM LEFT TO RIGHT ON THE ORIGINAL PHOTOS AND IT WILL BECOME THE EXACT SAME LOCATION TODAY



    DRAG IT BACK OVER AND YOU ARE BACK IN 1944 AGAIN.

    If you go here -- https://maps.six.nsw.gov.au/ -- you can compare Sydney in 1943 with now

    Thanks for that, will need to check it out on the big computer as it does not like Safari on the iPad.

    I tried that Ian. Seems all I get are fixed maps. Is there something I've missed?

    in the top right hand corner is a button labeled "Base maps"
    Click on the button and select the 1943 maps -- then play with the slider

    The 1943 maps cover Sydney east of about Blacktown

    Thanks Ian. Works on Safari. It didn't want to play on Firefox.
