Olinda Creek
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
When Europeans first entered this area of southern Australia, they moved up the valley of the Olinda Creek (then called Running Creek because it was a perennial stream). The formal naming process began with the survey of Lilydale township by John Hardy in 1859-60. At the same time that he named Lilydale, Hardy re-named the creek ‘Olinda’ after Alice Olinda Hodgkinson, daughter of Deputy Surveyor-General Clement Hodgkinson. The Olinda Creek runs into the Yarra River near Coldstream.
