Up the Creek seeks to respond to the contemporary disconnect by creating immersive experiences rooted in regenerative tourism and eco-leadership.
Our programs empower both students and adults to form meaningful connections with themselves, their communities and the more-than-human world. In collaboration with Victoria’s river systems, we learn with the flow - journeying along Melbourne’s lifeblood, the Birrarung, and the ancient currents of the Dhungala.
By cultivating these relationships, we aim to inspire ethical, embodied responses to the environmental and social challenges of our time. Our commitment is to regenerate the bond between people and planet - reigniting a sense of belonging, awe and possibility.
Our Intention is to curate programs for connection, as such, we invite you to jump down the rabbit hole with us and embark on a collaborative adventure with the Birrarung/ Yarra.
Meet us on the Birrarung for conversation and unfolding adventure. We aim to collaborate with you, blending storytelling, imagination, and tangible action. Up the Creek experiences run with wonder and conversation. Our unguides will meet your curiosities, craft actions and awareness that will open doors for developing these curiosities into long-lived memories and awareness in relation with the river.
