|
Location: | Pakenham – 582803. Eight kilometres east of Cranbourne. | |
Access: | Pound Road and Chasemore Road. | |
Ownership: | Private land. | |
Geomorphology: | Trending parallel to the present channel of the Cardinia Creek are traces of former stream courses. They are difficult to perceive on the ground but may be detected on aerial photographs. Hills (1942), suggested that on the basis of meander amplitude, these were independent of Cardinia Creek, and were traces of a larger stream with a drainage source some distance to the north-west. | |
Significance: | Regional. The stream traces may be used to assist in the interpretation of the drainage patterns that contributed to the formation of the extensive (now drained) wetlands to the north of Westernport Bay. | |
Management: | Class 3. Intensive subdivision or large scale excavation or building works that would obscure the stream should be prohibited. | |
