Description
A shortish walk (3.7km is total distance there-and-back) through dry scrubby bush, often with a beautiful array of wild flowers to the junction of the Werribee River and Myriniong Creek.
The track is quite rough in parts.

Points of Interest
1. Start of track
The start of the walk is not clearly marked, it starts just past the toilets. There is a water tap there but it is not for drinking.
2. Rough track
The track gets a little rough and rocky in parts but doesn't stay that way for too long.
3. The gate
Walk though the small top car park and onto the road, go through the small gate after about 10 metres.
4. Centenary Track sign
Take the path to Centenary Track, not the Circuit walk (which is a much longer walk).
5. Wild flowers
Depending on the time of year, you will see many wild flowers.
6. Farmland views
Lots of views through the trees to the bald hills of neighbouring farms.
7. Little bridge
Somewhere around here you will come to this newly constructed little bridge that helps protect the land from erosion.
8. Beautiful trees
Look out for some of the distinctly beautiful vegetation.
9. Wooden steps
These steps mark the small descent down to the river.
10. The junction
This wonderful pool is the junction of the Myrniong Creek (when flowing) and Werribee River.
11. Werribee River
A beautiful and tranquil spot for a picnic. Although in heavy rain, the river can become a bit of a torrent as the logs up on the rick ledge attest- they had to get there somehow!
