It may have been a track from Willis Vale ...Partington's Flat Greensborough was created in the 1950s when Heidelberg Council bought 12 acres from the Partington family to make the park. Fruit trees can be seen in this photograph. Gary Partington (on 2/2/2017) was hazy on the precise locale of the photo. It may have been a track from Willis Vale house going toward the Plenty River with maybe Marsh's Pine trees in the right background defining the border fence line of the Marsh Farm.Colour photographHandwritten on back "Partington's Flat Greensborough about 1968"alan partington, greensborough, partingtons flat, farms, landscapes, gardens
