These photos of June 20, 2017, show the environment and scenery along Brady Rd, east of the Dandenong Creek.
This section of Brady Rd was constructed in 1964 as the main entry point to the 7th National Australian Scout Jamboree, held for nine days over the Xmas/NY period 1964/65, on a large area of the Dandenong Police Paddocks Reserve. Some 16,000 scouts attended.
My visit was exploratory, in researching key locations used for some of the Jamboree activities, which included the Main Arena, the Main Asembly Area, the Camp Shopping Area, the Interstate Contingent Headquarters, the Main Gate, the Tree Conservation Area, the Camp Water Channel, the Camp Radio Station, and sites of the Lost Cubs and Information booths.
For guidance, I used a copy of the official Jamboree Camp Map!
