50 years ago, at the Same Location of Rakoty Pharmacy...
When living reality for Peakhurst residents was very different:
As noted in the summary, 50 years ago when Peakhurst was just low density living (not part of the State strategic priority region it has become in the Georges River LGA today) we had access to pharmacies, thus being on an equal footing to locally access the same price medicine to those in surrounding areas:
- Brain Thackeray Pharmacy — 812-820 Forest Rd Peakhurst 2210 NSW was beside Peakhurst Post Office (743m straight line from rakoty pharmacy).
- Hubbard Pharmacy — 9 Park St, Peakhurst 2210 NSW — The Same Location of the Rakoty Pharmacy. The photo of the Park St pharmacy (provided by a current Rakoty pharmacy customer) was taken in 1972 (Buses no long travel down Park St).
