About Melbourne Water's Waterway Stories
The following movie files are a collection of stories from members of our community about their experiences around Melbourne's rivers and creeks.
These people live or work along rivers and creeks including the Werribee, Bass, Little and Main Rivers, and the Jacksons, Deep, Toolern and Chinamans Creeks.
Melbourne Water works together with private landholders, community groups, councils and businesses to collect stories of experiences with local rivers and creeks. The stories help create stronger connections with our rivers and creeks and support ongoing waterway improvement by providing Melbourne Water with significant and beneficial feedback.
By watching the stories of those who are actively involved in caring for their local river or creek, individuals can also gain insight into how they might be involved and/or learn more about what they can do to benefit their own local river or creek.
