Director Statement

Creek Geeks was created to introduce the concept of an episodic series about a group of volunteers caring for their suburban creek. A disparate bunch of locals, coming together with one thing in common.

The graffiti removal story is drawn from the experiences of co-director Jessica, who is president of the Friends of Kororoit Creek.
