Jacksons Creek

Jacksons Creek winds through Sunbury, offering picturesque landscapes and a rich tapestry of natural beauty. The creek is central to the Jacksons Creek biik wurrdha Regional Parklands, a vast area connecting 26 kilometers of creek line from Sunbury to Diggers Rest. This parkland is dedicated to preserving cultural values, environmental conservation, and providing recreational spaces. The Wurundjeri Woi-wurrung people, the Traditional Owners of this land, refer to the area as 'biik wurrdha,' meaning 'land of many.' The parklands are home to diverse wildlife, including kangaroos, echidnas, and a population of platypus. Visitors can enjoy activities like walking, birdwatching, and exploring the unique geological formations along the creek. The area also features the Sunbury Earth Rings, historic Aboriginal ceremonial sites located on the hills to the west of Jacksons Creek. These sites are viewable periodically by invitation of the Wurundjeri Woi-wurrung Cultural Heritage Aboriginal Corporation. Whether you're seeking a peaceful retreat or an adventure in nature, Jacksons Creek offers a memorable experience for all.
