The poetry competition encouraged residents to reconnect with nature by writing and submitting creek inspired poems. Poems were submitted by adults, but the majority were children. A poem by Michal Leunig, who grew up in Footscray, is on the inside of the back cover and a limerick by Andrew O'Keefe.For the Love of the Kororoit Creek Friends of Kororoit Creek Poetry Competition 2016kororoit creek, flora and fauna, indigenous history

Kororoit Creek flows through Albion, Deer Park & Sunshine. It is a vital ecological corridor and recreational trail, known for its basalt cliffs, revegetation efforts, and community significance. Kororoit Creek has deep Aboriginal significance, with evidence of long-standing occupation and cultural practices along its banks. The area surrounding Kororoit Creek is part of the traditional lands of the Wurundjeri Woi-wurrung people, who belong to the Kulin Nation. The name Kororoit is thought to have been derived from an Aboriginal word meaning male kangaroo, but the meaning is in dispute, the name may be also derived from the Woiwurrung language, meaning “Creek on the western plain".Korotoit Creek 8/6/2010kororoit creek

No formal name has been assigned to this reserve. From research, which is still to be confirmed, it is believed the Deer Park Lions Club installed the infrastructure in the area, which includes the wooden path, table and bench seat, therefore for convenience we will refer to it as the Lions Club Reserve. Situated on the west bank of the Kororoit Creek, it lies directly opposite the Deer Park Hotel, where a swimming hole once enjoyed popularity among the early residents of Deer Park. Unfortunately, as the surrounding areas were developed for residential and industrial requirements, along came pollution that made these holes unsafe to swim in. The use of these holes were discouraged in the mid 1900's and subsequently the local Councils of the district started to provide man made swimming pools such as the ones located in Sunshine and St. Albans. Today, now an almost forgotten location in Deer Park, the water hole provides a tranquil location for visitors to relax and watch the creek slowly flowing past and the birdlife that frequent the area.Water holes along the Kororoit Creek and Maribyrnong River were once used for providing drinking water, relaxation, recreation sport and spots to cool off on the long summer days.5651.01 - Lions Club Reserve Kororoit Creek West Bank Deer Park 2021 Photo 23.JPG 5651.02 - Lions Club Reserve Kororoit Creek West Bank Deer Park 2021 Photo 17.JPG 5651.03 - Lions Club Reserve Kororoit Creek West Bank Deer Park 2021 Photo 19.JPG 5651.04 - Lions Club Reserve Kororoit Creek West Bank Deer Park 2021 Photo 20.JPG 5651.05 - Lions Club Reserve Kororoit Creek West Bank Deer Park 2021 Photo 21.JPG ballarat road, deer park, kororoit creek, deer park lions club
