Generations of people have grown up next to the Darebin Creek Parkland that has
morphed from a weedy wasteland to an award winning bushland
The Darebin Parklands Association (DPA) is researching and writing a history of the Darebin Parklands. The parklands straddle the Darebin Creek between Alphington and Ivanhoe in north-east Melbourne.
We are looking for people to contribute stories about the parkland and the Darebin Creek. They may be childhood memories or first impressions or historical events. Go ahead, enter your story, don't forget to say when (year) it happened, and where in the parklands. Please include at least your first name.

1966 pre Parklands Quarry
Much of the Alphington side of the parklands was once a quarry. The 40 metre quarry hole then became a municipal tip. Do you recall the quarry in operation? Or may be the tipsite?
