Yarran Dheran Nature Reserve

7.2 hectares of native bushland along the Mullum Mullum Creek at Mitcham, in Melbourne's eastern suburbs, cared for by a volunteer committee that runs working bees and a monthly bird survey. Six walks cross wetland, woodland and creek-corridor habitat — the Creek Circuit gives the best odds of a platypus at dusk, the Spring Wildflower walk peaks September to November. Eighty-five bird species recorded, koalas overhead. Wurundjeri Woi-wurrung Country.
