KCT - I want to tell you Traditional Cache

Kororoit Creek Trail

The Kororoit Creek stretches for over 80kms through the north-west and western parts of Melbourne. It starts north-west of Sunbury as run off from Mt.Aitken and flows south through farmland across the Western Plains. The creek enters the Melbourne metropolitan area at Caroline Springs and flows over the volcanic lava plain of western Melbourne and reaches Port Phillip Bay at Altona Coastal Park

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

Another Geoffrey Ricardo sculpture.
It is interesting to see what the original idea looked like compared with what you are looking at here.
The wings were more like a bird rather than a plane. Having said that, I did see three planes go overhead while I was standing here.
The poem is by Ania Walwicz (and the source of the cache title).
