Thankyou Simon for this info - BUT please what do you mean by Plenty?
Upper Plenty is between Wallan and Whittlesea and is a bit far out even
in these days to be called Melbourne's 'northeast outskirts'.
Lower Plenty between Rosanna and Eltham isnt on the outskirts these days
by my reckoning.
If on the Plenty River, I'd like to know exactly where, if you wouldn't
mind, for sound reasons to do with defending the Plenty Flyway's
vegetation from encroachment.
Anthea Fleming in Ivanhoe (not the one in NSW).
