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 starting co-ordinates will take you to one of the path signs. This one is a little unusual and unexpected.
Around 19AB, a group of employees from the Sunshine Harvester Works decided to establish a rifle club. Their chosen location was just north of the current Wright Street Bridge, about CDD meters upstream from here - and their plan was to have the target safely erected on the other side of the creek.

You don't need to climb here.
