Mouth of the Maribyrnong

The docks. I actually started my walk at Webb Dock, at the present mouth of the Yarra. Before the area around Coode Island was drained the Maribyrnong mouth was in a delta of marshes that reached the bay. Sometimes it flooded and left billabongs in the Sandridge/ Port Melbourne dunes. The Yarra joined the Maribyrnong near Footscray, forming a boundary between the Bunurung and Woiwurung tribes. Neither the Yarra nor Maribyrnong mouth can be readily accessed because of the docks.
