The Darebin Creek Corridor offers plenty of opportunities for both locals and visitors to enjoy Melbourne's North. The best way to get along the creek is by the shared pathway that runs for most of the length of the Creek. This path network allows walkers, joggers and cyclists to experience the constructed and natural features of the Darebin Creek Valley. The shared pathway also provides links to major locations in the area including Northland Shopping Centre, La Trobe University and RMIT.
A number of brochures are available that highlight points of interest along the creek, the shared path network and other locations in the Darebin Creek Catchment. They are available from the Darebin Creek Environment Centre or for further information please contact DCMC:
