Historical information

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".
