	Murray River
		In the 19th century the river used to support a substantial commercial steamboat trade, but the unreliable levels made it impossible for boats to compete with the railways and later road transport.
		During the 20th century a large number of dams were constructed in the river's headwaters, including the Hume Dam, Dartmouth Dam, and the complex dam and pipeline system of the Snowy Mountains Scheme.
		The disruption of the river's natural flow, runoff from agriculture, and the introduction of pest species like the European Carp has led to serious environmental damage along the river's length and to concerns that the river (and thus Adelaide's water and the irrigation water) will be unusably salty in the medium to long term.

		Being one of the major river systems in one of the driest continents of Earth, the Murray has significant cultural relevance to Indigenous Australians.
		The introduction of pumping stations along the river promoted an expansion of farming and led ultimately to the development of irrigation areas (including the Murrumbidgee Irrigation Area).
		Along the intervening stretch of the river a series of locks and weirs were built.

	Alpine Fishing - Alpine Region North East Victoria
		The Kiewa Valley Fishing Club is based in Mt Beauty at the head of the Kiewa Valley and is surrounded by some of the best fishing that the state of Victoria has to offer, the main target fish is the Brown and Rainbow trout.
		There are numerous tributaries of the Kiewa River that are fed by the snowfields of the Bogong High Plains and all of them have healthy stocks of both Rainbow and Brown trout.
		As testament of the quality of the fishing in the Kiewa Valley the Mt Beauty Pondage and the Kiewa River were chosen to be part of the Victorian Fly Fishing championships that were held here in March 2002.

		The Kiewa River at Tawonga is running high from good seasonal rains with a "milky green" texture at times, due to a landslip that is causing an ongoing soil erosion problem in the west Kiewa River above McKay power station.

		The Victoria River near Dinner Plain, which flows into the Cobungra River, would be worth a try on bait as it always fishes well early in the season when the water is high.

		The east and west branches of the upper Kiewa River flow north through steep narrow valleys, and although the valley does widen after the two branches merge the greater part of the catchment is mountainous.
		The general health of the Kiewa catchment is reflected by the Index of Stream Condition (ISC), with two (11%) of 19 reaches in the catchment rated as poor and 11 (58%) rated as marginal.
		Increases in phosphorous are often related to increases in turbidity as the increased number of particles in the water are carrying the phosphorous, however, this was not the case in the Broken River where total phosphorous levels showed a small decline despite the large increase in turbidity.
