Craigieburn Park
A building and driveway are shown on the 1933 Army Ordnance Map (see above for full map). The building also appears in the 1915 map. Is this the location of Craigieburn Park?
Matching this up with current day aerial photos suggest that this building may have been slightly north
of where the mint is today, but at this scale it is possible there may be magnified alignment errors.

Current day aerial photograph matched against 1933 Ordnance Map. This is by no means an exact science!

Craigieburn Farm Complex H7822-0025
I found this by accident when looking at an older map which listed heritage
sites. H7822-0025 does not appear in the online database, but I have received
a copy of the listing from Heritage Victoria. H7822-0025 is only described as
"CRAIGIEBURN FARM COMPLEX / SOMERTON ROAD CRAIGIEBURN, Hume City" with no further
information apart from the location co-ordinates. Heritage Victoria also supplied a map
which places that location to the north portion of Roxburgh Park, which was developed
around 2001/2002.
Note that H7822-0237 also references a place called "Craigieburn Farm Complex" inside the Craigieburn Grasslands. Is it possible
these are the same thing, just at different ends?
Map showing location as supplied by Heritage Victoria. The Craigieburn/Roxburgh Park border runs through the top half. Bridgewater Road is slightly east.

A general map showing the location is available here.
A capture of a Google Earth aerial photograph from around 2001/2002 is here (ignore the X - that's not the site)
