Length: 4.3 km<\/p>\n

Time taken: 1 hour (including breaks for pictures)<\/p>\n

Grade: Easy<\/p>\n

Climb: 33 metres<\/p>\n

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.<\/p>\n

The walk was very easy and relaxing. I was tempted to stop and watch the water flowing over the rocks for a while.<\/p>\n
