BACKGROUND

A section of the Merri Creek Trail is adjacent to the western edge of the Yarra Band Park,  and is in Clifton Hill.

 

It links Lower Heidelberg Rd with the Main Yarra Trail (at Dight's Falls).

 

It can be reached from Wright St, or south from The Esplanade.

 

Several points of interest are located along the Trail.

 

Merri Creek Labyrinth and Wishing Tree

This lies in a hollow (Hewson's Hollow) under a cliff, opposite a willow tree on the bank of the creek. Nearby is a wishing tree.

 

It was created by the community for the community in the mid 2010s. It is a significant environmental art installation, and is the only known Labyrinth in a Melbourne park. It is a classical seven-circuit labyrinth built from bluestones which are believed to have been previously quarried from the site.
