Greenbank Avenue, cnr of Brady Rd |
Photos on a 2 km Historical Research exploration of February 4, 2017, starting at the end of Brady Rd. This area was used for the Seventh Australian Scout Jamboree in Dec 1964-Jan 1965, attended by 16,000 scouts. The overgrown roads seen in the photos were constructed for the Jamboree in 1964, as were the power poles. The roads were asphalted, now closed off for private vehicle traffic, and now used as shared walking/jogging/cyclef/fire management tracks. The bushland has regrown since the Jamboree.

Howdy Bob, a big bunch of great photos here of this very interesting place, the area is looking in great condition and it is nice that they left some of the old road to be able to see! Thanks for sharing and best regards! Michael
