There are lots of options for walks along the Dandenong Creek Trail. One walk is to continue on the main path, past the Winton Wetlands, towards Koomba Park and Wantirna Reserve which you enter via the Boronia Road underpass.

The main path through Koomba Park goes to Wantirna Reserve but there are also numerous other tracks that can be explored, particularly in dryer weather. As the alternative tracks are usually dirt tracks they can be muddy after heavy rain, especially when cyclists have ridden along them. One of the tracks goes past a billabong and bird hide and leads on to a wide path near the power lines.
Another path passing water and reeds leads to the beginning of the back track.

At Wantirna Reserve there is a cricket ground and other sports facilities. The Australian Jazz Museum is also close by.

Continuing past the sports grounds is another track leading to the long boardwalk which ends at Burwood Highway.
The boardwalk meanders beside the creek.
In this area new plants have recently been added to the bushland.
It is a peaceful place to walk and from time to time the sound of bellbirds can be heard.
There are also views of the Morack Public Golf Course.
In autumn, by the sides of the boardwalk masses of pink flowers grow.
There are a number of ways of doing this walk. We often park at Wantirna Road and then walk along the trail to Wantirna Reserve. On other occasions we park the car near the sports grounds and explore the boardwalk and some of the smaller walks.
