Starting from Smith Street, Alphington, this circuit walk gives you a tour of the Darebin Parklands, skirting Darebin Creek along the way. This reserve is home to heaps of wildlife due to its dense and varied vegetation. Flying foxes, kangaroos, echidnas, and 70+ bird species can be seen in the area. There are sheltered seats and tables, water taps and toilets present. There is also an off-leash area for dogs which also has a deep pool they can swim in. The reserve can be pretty busy, so coming early on weekdays can be helpful. Check the forecast beforehand, as parts of the track can be muddy/flooded. Keep an eye out for snakes, especially between October and April. There is an informational signpost on what to do if your dog gets bitten. Let us begin by acknowledging the Wurundjeri people, Traditional Custodians of the land on which we travel today, and pay our respects to their Elders past and present.
