Dandenong Creek

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Dandenong Creek runs from the Dandenong Ranges National Park, in the eastern suburbs of Melbourne, Australia, through the urban areas of Boronia and The Basin, eventually meeting Mordialloc Creek and Patterson River. The health of the creek in these urban areas ranges from moderate to very poor and has been the focus of a number of clean-up campaigns in recent years.

The creek is also the home of one of the largest remaining populations of Yarra Gum, Eucalyptus yarraensis.^[1]
