Toolern Creek at Bridge Road, Melton South, Victoria
Toolern Creek is a small tributary of the Werribee River in Victoria. The creek rises near Toolern Vale and flows through the Melbourne suburbs of Melton and Melton South , separating the industrial and residential areas of these suburbs.
The creek forms a confluence with the Werribee River at Exford immediately downstream from the Melton Reservoir .
A community group called Friends of Toolern Creek has been formed to preserve and restore the environment of the creek.[ 1] The group holds an annual festival, the Toolern Creek Platypus Festival, to celebrate the platypus in the local waterways.[ 2]
Residents in the Melton area can make use of the nearby Toolern Creek Trail .
