What's happening in Melbourne's Northern creeks?

The Northen Nature Creek Connections project supports communities caring for the environment of the Moonee Ponds, Merri and Darebin Creeks. This has involved education activities and community events.

A particular focus of Northern Nature Creek Connections is the special ecological communities associated with this eastern-most part of the Victorian Volcanic Plains bioregion.

The adjacent catchments of the Moonee, Merri and Darebin Creeks are all tributaries of the Yarra River (click the map below for more detail).
