Darebin Creek
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Darebin Creek is a waterway in Melbourne, Victoria. It is a tributary of the Yarra River, rising on the northern urban fringe of Melbourne just north of the suburb Epping, following a general southerly route and meeting the Yarra at Alphington. The creek forms much of the municipal boundary between the City of Darebin and City of Banyule.
Formerly an intermittent stream, increased stormwater runoff with urbanisation of the Darebin Creek catchment has resulted in permanent water flow.
The creek runs through Darebin Parklands and Rockbeare Park, a large nature preserve one or two kilometres northwest of the junction at which the creek meets the Yarra.
The Darebin Creek Trail runs along the banks in the lower reaches of the creek.
