Skeleton Waterholes Creek Walk (Tarneit)
This 5 km walk along the Skeleton Creek trail loops between Truganina and Tarneit and takes in Tarneit Creek wetlands.
Skeleton Creek, also known as Skeleton Waterholes Creek, was once a series of seasonal waterholes thought to resemble vertebrates of a spine. In many places, Skeleton Creek is thick with phragmites, common reed grass, and is a haven for birdlife, frogs and insects.
The creek is home to a huge array of birdlife, eastern long-neck turtles, rakali (native water rats) and many species of frogs, such as the endangered growling grass frog.
Friends of Skeleton Creek have been revegetating and restoring the creek for over 30 years and have made an enormous difference to the creek and the natural environment.
The trail surface is smooth and sealed.
Toilets are available at Mahbeers Talliver Park.
