Gardiner’s Creek, Burwood
February 6th, 2011 at 11:47Length: 4.3 km
Time taken: 1 hour (including breaks for pictures)
Grade: Easy
Climb: 33 metres
I was pleasantly surprised at how nice this walk was considering it runs behind the Deakin university and schools in Burwood. I was expecting the creek to be fairly small and narrow, but it was quite full and flowing when I was there. I’m not sure how much this was due to the flash flooding a couple of days earlier. The flooding had flattened some of the marsh grass (if that’s what you call it) along the side of the creek.
The walk was very easy and relaxing. I was tempted to stop and watch the water flowing over the rocks for a while.
