Andersons Creek, Brook in City of Maroondah, Australia
Andersons Creek flows through the eastern suburbs of Melbourne for 7 kilometers before merging with the Yarra River near Warrandyte State Park.
The discovery of gold along the creek's banks at Fourth Hill in June 1851 marked the first documented gold finding in Victoria, Australia.
The Wurundjeri people of the Kulin nation used the creek for gathering food and materials, speaking variations of the Woiwurrung language.
The creek maintains natural water flow patterns without interference from dams or weirs, creating regular flooding patterns after substantial rainfall.
The waterway provides habitat for diverse Australian wildlife including platypus, rakali, koalas, powerful owls, and yellow-tailed black cockatoos.
