This picture was made whilst I was on a brief visit to Sunshine, Melbourne. I was there for an industrial photo session with Stuart Murdoch in North Melbourne. We had a break from photographing drosscapes/edgelands with Stuart taking me for a walk along the Kororoit Creek trail in Sunshine. Kororoit Creek is approximately 80km in length and is a major waterway in Melbourne’s north-west region.
This page gives a brief history and geology of Kororoit Creek which flows over the Western Plains and through various suburbs ()including Sunshine) from Mount Kororoit, near Sunbury to Port Phillip Bay between between Williamstown and Altona Bay . There is a Strategic Plan 2005-30 which has a section on the Sunshine Reach (Reach 7). It says this reach has the most extensive provision of shared use trails along the entire study area with the threats the creek being weed invasion, rabbit grazing and disturbance, poor water quality and further development backing onto the creek.
