Tullamarine, Victoria, is among Australia’s most renowned and popular destinations thanks to one very busy icon. Melbourne Airport, or Tullamarine (as it is also known), is frequented by thousands of passengers every day. They come and go from the terminal in an endless pattern, many unaware of the local history that surrounds them. Before the airport took overthe site in 1970 and established its own postcode adjacent to Tullamarine, the area was mainly a farming district. Cattle and hay were dominant on the farms in the early years but by the 1930s demand waned and farmers turned their hand to other pursuits such as raising pigs. Photographs of the pre-airport days have often been the subject of postcard printing in Tullamarine. The staff here at Minuteman Press are well versed in the best ways to display these precious reminders of the bygone era.
The establishment of Melbourne Airport has led to the creation of new businesses, and residential development in the region as well as a number of upgrades to existing roads and facilities. Sharps Road, for example was boosted from a single road to a bustling dual carriageway. It now provides a much-used alternative route to the airport from the Western Ring Road.
Light industry has sprung up in Tullamarine which now hosts major companies ranging from Caterpillar Australian to Honda and Cadbury Schweppes. The latter is one of the area’s biggest employers.
