Caveat:
A map is a graphical representation of a geographical actuality. However, though some maps are more representative than others, no map is absolutely correct. The maps on this site are not exempt from this rule. |
The Campbells Creek Trail runs from Forest Street, Castlemaine, to Campbells Creek Park, Campbells Creek. The track runs alongside (or close to) Campbells Creek. (More precisely expressed, the track initially runs besides Barkers Creek until the confluence with Forest Creek and thereafter the combined flow is known as Campbells Creek.) There are several bridges on the route where the track passes over the creek or under roads and the Castlemaine Maldon railway line. The track crosses flood plains covered with native vegetation and it is remarkable, at some points, how remote an observer can feel from the urban environment to the east.
The track surface is generally excellent and of low gradient. The track has many access points along it so there is the opportunity for planning interesting routes. There is access to the start of the Castlemaine to Maldon Trail at the Elizabeth St bridge. (Take care if making an arrangement to meet someone, there is an Elizabeth Street in the north and another in the south.) The track finishes at the Campbell Creek Park on Main Road.
The intended hardcopy format for the map is A4.
Almost all the map data were simply obtained by field work. The formal roads on the map were sourced from Mapshare and auxilary material was provided by Friends of Campbells Creek Tree coverage and miscellanous detail was taken from Google Earth.
