The creek flows north from Clear Paddock Basin in the Bonnyrigg/Edensor Park boundary, just near Smithfield Road, then turns its course north-east from Edensor Road, before emptying into Orphan School Creek in Wakeley. It is approximately 5 km in length. To the south of Clear Paddock Basin, the creek becomes subterranean or tunnelled, where it flows underground in a southwesterly direction to the northeastern fringes of Green Valley.[1]
Regeneration
The creek is mostly concrete-walled (like a culvert), though recently, Fairfield City Council removed 2.5km of concrete-lined stormwater channel in a small part of the creek to the west in Bonnyrigg, and restored the natural creek ecosystem with riparian vegetation, which was originally a Coastal Swamp Oak Forest.[2]
