Jacksons Creek

Jacksons Creek, known as 'biik wurrdha' in Woi-wurrung language, is a picturesque waterway flowing through Sunbury, Victoria. The Jacksons Creek biik wurrdha Regional Parklands encompass over 1,000 hectares, connecting 26 kilometers of creek line from Sunbury to Diggers Rest. This expansive parkland offers a rich tapestry of deep gullies, creek flats, steep slopes, and high plains, providing diverse habitats for local wildlife. Visitors can enjoy scenic walking trails, such as the Jacksons Creek Explorer, which follows the creek's path through the parklands. The area is also home to the Sunbury Earth Rings, historic Aboriginal ceremonial sites located on the hills to the west of Jacksons Creek. These sites are periodically viewable by invitation of the Wurundjeri Woi-wurrung Cultural Heritage Aboriginal Corporation. The parklands are managed to respond to climate change impacts and extreme weather events, ensuring the preservation of its natural beauty and cultural significance.
