Tarralla Creek Trail (Croydon South)
The Tarralla Creek Trail is a shared use path for cyclists and pedestrians, which follows Tarralla Creek (previously known as the Croydon main drain) in the outer eastern suburbs of Croydon and Croydon South. The total distance of the trail is about 4.8km.
Heading east on the Dandenong Creek Trail, the Dandenong Creek Trail goes under the Belgrave railway line. On the east side of the underpass the Belgrave Rail Trail immediately heads off parallel to the rail line to the right (south). 70m later, along the Dandenong Creek Trail, is a footbridge to the left (north) that crosses Dandenong Creek. This is the beginning of the southern end of the Tarralla Creek Trail. This area is effectively a major intersection for trails and is unsigned.
Cross the footbridge and continue north up Bungalook Rd E to Canterbury Road. Turn left (NW) and go past the Heathmont Golf Park on the left. Cross Canterbury Road at the pedestrian crossing and pick up the trail on the far side just north of Greenhill Road.
Continue north along the trail for about 1.9 km to the footbridge at Oak Lane. Head up Oak lane (east) to Bayswater Road. Turn left (north) and cross the road at the pedestrian crossing. 300m from Oak Lane the trail ducks through to Yvonne Street. At the northern end of Yvonne Street and on the far side of at Eastfield Road the trail restarts. About 2 km later, after passing by the Fred Geale oval in Town Park, it comes to an end at Norton Road next to Swinburne TAFE Croydon Campus.
