From the text: "This property consisting of 639 acres is the most picturesque in the County of Cumberland… £1,000,000 to be made out of The Riviera by correct handling.… The completion of the North Shore Bridge [Sydney Harbour Bridge] in two years’ time (1931) will materially improve the opportunities…"
