Following the Path

The path is easy to follow as it travels parallel to the Eastern Freeway. 600m west of Middleborough Rd the trail is located on the south side of the feeway. East of that point it runs along the north side of the freeway.

Near the Bushy Creek Trail turnoff is a small wetland area with Purple Swamphens and the occasional Little Pied Cormorant.

Connections

Yarra River Trail in the west. Intersects the Bushy Creek Trail in the middle. Currently (2007) a dead end in the east at Park Rd. However the trail will link up with the Mullum Mullum Creek Trail, when the EastLink project is completed.

Leaving the trail at Middleborough Rd and travelling north 1.9 km by road, leads to the Ruffey Creek Trail near George St. Leaving the trail at Middleborough Rd and travelling south 1.4 km by road, leads to the Bushy Creek Trail via Springfield Rd.
