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
If you are travelling south, the very flash concrete path is about to disappear! Just about where you can see that noticeboard down the trail.
The track goes suddenly into crushed rock and stones, a good track for a mountain bike.
To get to The Old and the New Cache you need to cross the old bridge.
Then to continue south you need to stay on that side (eastern side).
The track returns to a flash track a couple of caches along.
