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.
