Boats on Muddy Creek near the Cooks River

Muddy Creek is the Cooks River’s last tributary before it flows into Botany Bay. It drains stormwater runoff to the northeast from Carlton, Kogarah, Rockdale, Banksia, Brighton-Le-Sands and Kyeemagh.
It consists of a brick and concrete lined channel (owned by Sydney Water). There are market gardens alongside it.
