ACTIVITY DESCRIPTION: Starting on the park side adjacent to Greensborough Station, we will briefly follow the Plenty River upstream, passing by playing fields before climbing uphill, skirting adjacent urban estates, keeping to greenbelt and parkland as much as possible, crossing a few serious roads, before coming down to join up with a mainly flat Diamond Creek Trail We will follow this upstream towards a proposed alfresco luncheon (BYO) stop, before continuing along the trail as far as Hurstbridge.
