The word Kororoit is thought to have been derived from an Aboriginal word meaning male kangaroo.
Along the Kororoit Creek a rich and colourful history has flowed, natural and social; it has flowed past interesting rock and land formations where fascinating wildlife has made its home; it has flowed through time as the home of the Wurundjeri tribe, as the nineteenth century "bridge" to the Ballarat Goldfields, to the present; it's a story that is alive and well and continues to flow today.
The Trail
Most of the trail is a concrete shared path that is suitable for all bikes (and walkers). Sections of dirt are still being worked upon, as Councils complete small sections that will eventually run the full length of the creek.
There are several entrances to the trail, and a few carparks (even some toilets!)
As the trail follows the creek there are no steep long hills (a few very short ones though!).
This Cache
The cache is placed just far enough away from the playground, but close enough to allow mini-cachers to enjoy its many attributes. In fact, I reckon you could drop them off here, and before they looked for you again, you will have completed the whole series!
This was a strategic campsite along the Creek for Aboriginal people, particularly in the summer months (and not only for the playground!). Have a read of the information board.
