On the Yarra just below where the Merri Creek comes in, this was once a natural weir and river crossing used by the Wurundjeri. For Europeans, it was the furthest they could navigate up the river by boat. John Dight build a water mill there in 1841, hence its name. A fish ladder has now been installed to help migration. Its a favourite place for canoe slalom training.
