The RTA [now RMS ] produced a CD of aerial photos over Sydney called "From the Skies " taken in 1943 . I think it was published about 2005 . Given that photography was still a bit rough in those days

The ropeway was upgraded to full auto operation in the mid 90's. I can't remember if there was 2 parallel ropeways before then or it was the new towers for the present ropeway . When I last saw Kandos
