Brownhill Creek - Ellison's Creek loop

Start on the Yurebilla Trail from the car park on Brown Hill Creek Rd and turn off at Tilley’s Hill Road. There is an old tunnel, bridge and the Old Mitcham Waterworks well to look out for. The climb over the hill is steep but the view from the top is amazing. Thanks to Claire Sims for coming up with this loop as part of the Tuesday night TRSA Social Runs.

About the Park

The park’s nar­row creek flows through a steep sided val­ley with majes­tic riv­er red gums, (some more than 300 years old). This area was once a favourite camp­ing, hunt­ing and gath­er­ing ground for the Kau­r­na Abo­rig­i­nal People.

Large riv­er red gums line Brown­hill Creek while blue gum wood­land climbs the val­ley slopes. The park also sup­ports a small, threat­ened, ecosys­tem of grey­box grassy woodland.

Today, this 51 hectare park offers a stunning combination of easy and technical trails in the south-eastern suburbs.
