Darebin Creek, seen here flowing through the Darebin Parklands is Alphington, is a perennial creek. Along it are various nature reserves, parks and parklands, providing a welcome green belt running through suburbia. The creek joins the Yarra River further downstream. As well as much native fauna and flora found growing in its banks, there are also some introduced species, for example the Call lily "GreenGoddess" seen in the bottom left corner of the photo. There are concerted efforts to remove as much as possible of the weeds and introduced species and allow the native flora to grow again along the course of the waterway.

Here there are volunteer groups and organizations that are trying to clean up and restore native plants along the Niagara river where possible and the big creeks….. Glad to hear that they do that where you are
