Paddling

The Birrarung is a majestic and wondrous entity that is the lifeblood of our city.

Flat Water,  Art Islands and Galleries, Rapids, Wildlife,  The Birrarung / Yarra has it all.

From a dawn paddle to a multi day adventure.

Paddling is a great way to develop your relationship with the Birrarung and an excellent way to connect with others and yourself.

Up The Creek is founded on a commitment to connect Melbournians and visitors to the lifeblood on our city, and the more than human world.

We have partners across Victoria,  from Float 3909 in far East Gippsland,  The Glenelg Arc in the west to the Mighty Murray river.  Begin your dance with the Birrarung, gain skills and confidence to head out into Victoria’s waterways.  Up the Creek can facilitate your journey to slow down and connect with Self other and Environment.
