Padman Park was cleared, the area on the river known as McKenzies flat was grazed and several fruit orchards were grown. The houses were eventually abandoned, the last one being bulldozed in the 1970s. At the same time, most of modern West Albury was partially cleared.

Albury West Public School and also been built by then, only taking around 100 students.
