Present Day
Sharps Road, which runs east-west near the southern border of Tullamarine, was until the late 1980s a single carriageway road. On its southern side was a line of tall pine trees hiding a small pony club. Today, Sharps Road is a bustling dual-carriageway road providing an alternative route from the Western Ring Road to Melbourne Airport.
