Badgers Creek is a small rural locality north of Healesville, set in the foothills and ranges country that stretches from the Yarra Valley toward the Mount Toolebewong ranges and the edge of the Yarra Ranges National Park. The area is characterised by hobby farms, rural residential properties and remnant native vegetation, with the Badgers Creek itself — a small tributary of the Yarra system — flowing through native bushland that supports diverse local wildlife. Healesville is the nearest township, providing the full range of services for this part of the Yarra Valley including Healesville Hospital, the famous Healesville Sanctuary (a leading Australian wildlife park), shops, schools and community facilities. The Healesville Sanctuary is one of the most significant wildlife conservation facilities in Australia, playing a key role in programs to protect threatened species including the platypus, eastern barred bandicoot, and helmeted honeyeater — Victoria’s state bird emblem.
