In 2025 the Merri Creek Management Committee was proud to receive the Australian Government Community Partnerships Landcare Award for our work with community. In 2026, we'll be running a series of guided walks to one of Melbourne’s most gorgeous and newly established regional parks: marram baba Merri Creek Parklands.

We’ll go to hidden parts of the 2,778-ha park in Kalkallo, Craigieburn, and Campbellfield. Wurundjeri Woi-wurrung seasons will tell us the time of year locally, as we consider seasonal markers such as seeding grass heads (biderap – Jan-Feb), Short-finned eel migration stories (iuk – March), signs of emerging Bardi moths (waring – May), and flowering Sheokes (waring - June-July).

Please register your interest HERE, and we'll be in touch as the walks are scheduled.
