This road can be very busy so make sure you park to give yourself plenty of room. There is a pencil in hide but best to byo.
Barwon Water’s former Bellarine Basin at the corner of Grubb and Swan Bay roads in Wallington has a new name – Murrk Ngubitj Yarram Yaluk – meaning ‘head waters of continuous flowing river’ in Wadawurrung language.
The former basin sits at the headwaters of Yarram Creek. Yarram is a Wadawurrung word meaning continuously flowing. The name aligns with works, already underway, to remove the basin and restore the headwaters of Yarram Creek, and is a symbol of Barwon Water’s commitment to work closely with Wadawurrung Traditional Owners on the project.
The site of 30 hectares of environmental and public open space will be developed for the community to enjoy.
Congrats FTF Dromainiax
Since early 2023, the site has been opened up and the community invited to help with ongoing revegetation activities.
Murrk Ngubitj Yarram Yaluk will become a place for the public to experience the unique and natural features of the Bellarine Peninsula; a place that people, birds and native animals can enjoy for generations to comeCaring for country and protecting the natural assets we all depend upon is becoming increasingly crucial, and we are proud to be taking such responsibility with the Bellarine Basin rehabilitation project.
