Following The Path
It commences in Melbourne Docklands on Footscray Road near where the creek enters the Yarra River. The lower reaches of the path are also the route of the Capital City Trail.
It follows the creek, snaking under and around the Tullamarine Freeway for many kilometres. There is a short on road section through Essendon along Vanberg Road. After Bell Street it leaves the Tullamarine Freeway and the dank concrete environment and heads north on the east side of Essendon Airport through a series of parks, including the aptly named Boeing and Charles Kingsford Smith Ulm reserves. Passing under the large trestle bridge, the trail soon arrives at the Western Ring Road and the Western Ring Road Trail.
1.3 km along to the north is Jacana Reserve, near Johnstone Street. By crossing a small footbridge here, one arrives at the south end of the Broadmeadows Valley and the south end of the Broadmeadows Valley Trail.
Continuing on the Moonee Ponds Creek Trail leads to Willowbrook Reserve near Mickleham Road, in Westmeadows. West of Willowbrook Reserve, the path continues along the fence line of the Woodlands Historic Park next to Melbourne Airport.

Famous quotes containing the word path:
“What is the use of going right over the old track again? There is an adder in the path which your own feet have worn. You must make tracks into the Unknown.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
