Andersons Creek
Vorlage:Infobox River Andersons Creek is a creek in the outer eastern suburbs of Melbourne, Victoria, Australia. It is the main watercourse of the Mullum Mullum Valley, a tributary of the Yarra River and Yarra Valley. For tens of thousnads of years it was used as a food and tool source sustainably by the Wurundjeri people, Indigenous Australians of the Kulin nation, who spoke variations of the Woiwurrung language group.
It is one of the only watercourses lying within urban metropolitan Melbourne, that is surrounded by native and regenerated bushland for almost its entire length, thus it is a significant remnant ecosystem in Melbourne. It provides habitat for significant species, which includes amongst others; Platypus, Rakali, Koalas, Powerful Owls, Rufous Night Herons, White winged Choughs and Yellow tailed Black Cockatoos.
In recent decades the creek and valley has been central in many of Melbourne's eastern suburban issues such as residential housing estates, regeneration of native vegetation and most recently, Freeway construction. The EastLink Tollway passes underneath the valley through 1.5km of tunnels to avoid disturbing the remnant ecosystem through the Mullum Mullum Gorge, however through Ringwood, it crosses the creek above ground, resulting in the relocation of the creek through this area.
