Stony Creek (Melbourne)
Stony Creek is located in the western suburbs of Melbourne, Victoria, Australia. It runs through the suburbs of St Albans, Albion, Sunshine, Braybrook, Tottenham, Brooklyn, Kingsville and Yarraville. Stony Creek joins the Yarra River under the Westgate Bridge at the Stony Creek Backwash where it is fringed with mangroves. The "Friends of Stony Creek" is a group that works to restore native vegetation and protect the area. In April 2018, the "Upper Stony Creek Transformation", a project to return a 1.2 km section of Stony Creek in Sunshine North to a natural, revegetated creek with vibrant community  space and walking paths, commenced. This project is scheduled to be completed in September 2019. In July 2019 the "Upper Stony Creek Transformation Project" came to a standstill after project costs blew out following the discovery of industrial contamination at the site. In September 2019, the Stony Creek's water has turned blood red which authorities believed to be caused by a dye. The Environmental Protection Agency is still investigating the source of the discolouration.
