The Taylors Creek Trail is a shared use path for cyclists and pedestrians, which follows Taylors Creek in the outer north suburb of Taylors Lakes in Melbourne, Victoria, Australia.[1][2][3]
Combined with the Maribyrnong River Trail this trail makes for a good trip into the Melbourne city centre.
[edit] Following the Path
The path starts about 300m south of Melton Highway and Kings Rd intersection adjacent to Watergardens Shopping Centre, not far from Watergardens (aka Sydenham) station. Following the path is straight forward. When heading east from Watergardens Shopping Centre, change from the south side of the creek to the north side of the creek at Sunshine Ave. Stay on the north side thereafter.
Enjoy the remnant vegetation to be found along the creek bank and follow the instructions below to arrive at the Maribyrnong River Trail.
