Kororoit Creek Trail, cycling and pedestrian trail in Melbourne, Australia
The Kororoit Creek Trail is a cycling path stretching about 15 kilometers through western suburbs of Melbourne, winding through parks and natural areas alongside the creek. The route connects multiple parks and features footbridges that allow travelers to move between areas without crossing busy roads, while underpasses provide safe passage beneath highways.
The trail passes through land historically inhabited by the Wurundjeri and Bunurong Peoples, whose deep connection to the creek remains significant. A historic bluestone bridge that once carried the old Geelong Road has been preserved and now serves cyclists and walkers, demonstrating how past structures are reused for contemporary travel.
The Kororoit Creek Trail holds cultural significance for the Wurundjeri and Bunurong Peoples, recognized by the local council for their connection to this land. Visitors will discover educational signs and public art that share stories about the area's heritage and landscape as these features are completed along the route.
The path is relatively flat and easy to travel for a wide range of visitors, with convenient access near train stations like Albion and Sunshine for starting or finishing your journey. Different sections feature concrete, gravel, or grassed areas, and during heavy rain some creek crossings may flood, so nearby roads provide alternative routes.
The trail features sculptures by Geoffrey Ricardo depicting strange animals, spirits, and guardians visible between Grieve Parade and Barnes Road, adding a creative dimension to your ride or walk. These artworks make the journey memorable and provide unexpected visual interest along the route.
