The Carrum Carrum Swamp was a historic coastal wetland encompassing 52 km2 (20 sq mi) with a catchment area of 735 km2 (284 sq mi) that . It had four drainage outlets into the Port Phillip Bay, including the modern-day Kananook Creek/Eel Race Drain, Patterson River and Mordialloc Creek (a distributary of the Patterson River's upper section, the Dandenong Creek). Explorer William Hovell discovered "a very extensive fresh water marsh, from 12 to 15 miles long and 11/2 to 6 broad, and only separated from Port Phillip by a narrow ridge or bank of sand not more than from two hundred to three hundred yards wide." A painting titled "Lagoon in the Carrum Carrum Swamp – evening 1872" by James W Curtis is held at the National Gallery of Australia. Due to modern land developments and drainage measures only remnants of the swamp remain, such as the Edithvale-Seaford Wetlands.

The Edithvale-Seaford Wetlands is a collection of principally freshwater swamps and marshlands totalling 261 hectares (640 acres) in southeastern Melbourne, Victoria, Australia, about 30 km (19 mi) southeast of Melbourne CBD. It is the largest natural wetland of its type in the Port Phillip and Western Port basins, and is all that remains of the historic Carrum Carrum Swamp, which once covered more than 4,000 hectares (9,900 acres) from present-day Mordialloc in the north to Frankston in the south.The surviving wetlands are divided into two groups, namely the northern Edithvale Wetlands (103 hectares or 250 acres in total) and the southern Seaford Wetlands (158 hectares or 390 acres in total), which together form the Edithvale-Seaford Wetlands Ramsar Site. Along with the nearby Eastern Treatment Plant, they form the Carrum Wetlands Important Bird Area.All the wetlands are no more than 2 km (1.2 mi) away from the shore of Beaumaris Bay, bounded by Governor Road in the north, the coastal Nepean Highway in the west, the Mornington Peninsula Freeway and Frankston Freeway in the east, and Seaford Road in the south. Nowadays they are largely surrounded by residential areas, and some parts of the wetlands have been converted to parks, recreational reserves and golf courses.
