Kayaking the Kooyongkoot (Gardiner's Creek)

A kayaking journey along Kooyongkoot (Gardiners Creek) documents the waterway from river level, where it is often overlooked beneath cycle/pedestrian paths and the M1 freeway. This urban tributary of the Birrarung is both heavily engineered and ecologically alive, revealing how channelisation, drainage, flood management and competing land uses shape potential for restoration.
