Take a walk along the Campbells Creek Trail and hear the sounds and stories that make this creek special.

The walk takes place on the land of the Dja Dja Wurrung and we pay our respects to elders past, present and emerging and honour their ongoing relationship, knowledge and wisdom of this Country.
