			Back Creek provided irrigation water for the farms around [[Hartwell]], [[Camberwell]] and [[Burwood]]. However, regular flooding caused transport to be halted and many culverts, bridges and other items to be damaged or destroyed. As a result, the first agenda item of the newly-formed [[Boroondara Road District\|Boroondara District Road Board]] was to built a bridge over the Creek on [[Camberwell Road]] (then Ballyshanassy Road) in [[Hartwell]].<ref name="OldHartwellBook" />

Several cases of [[wikipedia:Diphtheria\|diphtheria]] and [[wikipedia:Typhoid\|typhoid]] were reported to Camberwell Council in the late 1910s.<ref name="OldHartwellBook" />
