Gardiners Creek Trail runs for around 20 kilometres through Melbourne’s eastern suburbs, following Gardiners Creek from Blackburn to the Main Yarra Trail in Burnley. The route passes through a mix of wetlands, parklands, and reserves, including Blackburn Creeklands and Gardiners Creek Reserve, with regular birdlife along the water. It also moves through a series of suburban green spaces and under major roads, tracking alongside the Monash Freeway before crossing the Yarra River to connect into the wider trail network.
