This essay discusses how the suburb of Auburn in Sydney, Australia has changed over time from its initial settlement in 1806 to the present day. It has undergone significant population growth and become one of the most multicultural areas in Australia. Obstacles like the White Australia policy initially slowed growth, but immigration reforms increased diversity. Sources showing an empty train station in the past versus today's crowded platforms illustrate Auburn's population increase over time. Transport has also modernized from early steam trains to a variety of modern options.
