Mullum Mullum Creek

Mullum Mullum Creek is a natural waterway flowing through Melbourne's eastern suburbs for approximately 22 kilometers. The stream supports a diverse range of native plants and animals within its riparian zones.

This waterway was a vital resource for the Wurundjeri people of the Kulin nation, who relied on it for food and materials over thousands of years. This long relationship with the land continues to shape the area.

The name comes from the Woiwurrung language and refers to large birds that once lived in this area. You can feel this linguistic connection to the land as you walk along the waterway today.

A trail follows the creek and connects multiple parks and recreational areas where visitors can walk, cycle, and observe wildlife throughout the year. Most access points are easy to reach and well marked.

Protected tunnels were built beneath the Eastlink Tollway to preserve the natural corridor for wildlife movement. This engineering solution shows how modern construction and habitat protection work together.
