SYDStories

Overview
SYDStories tells the story of Sydney Airport, from before the European settlement of Australia to the present day. Featuring interactive maps, videos, sliders, high-resolution galleries, SVG animations and timelines, this scroll-down responsive website highlights some of the key moments in the history of aviation and the people who made them happen.

This website was developed in Angular6, with copywriting, content research, designs and animations handled by our in-house team at Lightwell and the Eastern Zone Gujaga Aboriginal Corporation.

The website was officially launched in line with Sydney Airport’s Centenary in June 2019.
