	Lachlan River - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Lachlan River is a significant river in central New South Wales, Australia.
		However, the Lachlan, unlike the Murrumbidgee River and the Murray River further south, does not have its source in the snowfields and does not enjoy the large and reliable spring flow from the melting snow from which those rivers benefit.
		The European discoverer of the Lachlan River in 1815 was Acting-Surveyor George William Evans, who named the river after Lachlan Macquarie, the Governor of the colony of New South Wales. ; The Lachlan River was substantially explored by John Oxley in 1817.

		The low flats on the immediate borders of the river are evidently formed by washings from the hills and valleys deposited by floods, and the overflowings of the watercourses.
		On the opposite side of the river was another hill precisely similar to Mount Amyot, leaving a passage between them for the river, and the immense tract of level country to the eastward; this hill was named Mount Stuart.
		The river and lagoons abound with fish and fowl, and it is scarcely reasonable to suppose that the natives would not avail themselves of such store of food, if the danger of procuring it did not counterbalance the advantages they might otherwise derive from such abundance.

	The History of Australian Exploration by Ernest Favenc (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-12)
		The weather had set in wet and stormy, the rivers kept rising and falling, and the level country was soft and boggy, excessively tiring to their jaded horses; moreover, in consequence of the boats being now left behind, the packs were greatly increased in weight.
		They were now on a river running direct to the sea, which was named the Hastings River, and which the party followed down with more or less trouble until they reached a port at the mouth of it, which the explorer, after the fashion of the day, immediately dubbed Port Macquarie.
		On the 6th June they crossed the river, and found the open country still stretching south, bounded to the west by the snowy mountains they had formerly seen, and to the east by a range that they took to be the coast range.

	Downstream benefits of salinity management: A case study for the Boorowa Catchment
		It is a small sub catchment of the Lachlan catchment in the eastern headwaters of the Lachlan River.
		The Boorowa River contributes a substantial volume of water and salt load to the Lachlan River, and is an important source of water to communities and irrigators downstream of the confluence with the Lachlan River.
		The change in mass of salt and the volume of water flowing from the Boowora River Catchment as a result of a change in excess water is assumed to have a direct impact on the average salt load and stream yield of the Lachlan River.

		It is 100 km west of Parkes and 500 km west of Sydney at the junction of the Lachlan River and Goobang Creek, 189 m above sea-level.
		The first known European in the area were the explorers John Oxley (in 1817) and Thomas Mitchell who camped at the junction of the Lachlan River and Goobang Creek in 1836.
		The town was gazetted in 1859 but for over 20 years it was essentially a stopover and river-crossing for drovers moving stock from the north and west of New South Wales to Victoria, hence there were few permanent residents in what remained a pastoral area characterised by large holdings.

	River Systems of the World

		Where possible, diverted water may be returned to the river clean and near the point of diversion; specifically, some municipal water supplies treat their sewage and return fairly clean water to the river.
		Most rivers are not so lucky: either the water comes back contaminated with pollutants, or not at all.

	River Flow Objectives - Lachlan River
		River Flow Objectives were not recommended for the regulated parts of the Murray, Murrumbidgee, Lachlan, Macquarie, Namoi, Gwydir and Hunter Rivers, as well as for the Barwon-Darling River.
		River systems can sometimes be affected by unforeseen or irregular events-such as algal blooms or the start of bird-breeding seasons.
		As river flows are a major determinant of many of these processes, we can sometimes alleviate a water-quality or environmental problem by better managing river flows.

	John Oxley
		As before on the Lachlan River he was blocked by swamps and marshes.
		Because two of the rivers that he had explored had become blocked with swampy, marshy land, Oxley believed that they might have flowed into a great sea in the middle of Australia.
		He was shown the mouth of a large river and guided upstream by some escaped convicts who had been shipwrecked earlier and who had been living with local Aborigines.

		On Thursday, the 1st of June, this river holding a definite course to the westward, and he being clear of the points of the hills, which hitherto had hindered him greatly, he determined to return, as he was running short of provisions.
		Reaching the Murrumbidgee, they found that river flooded, and after waiting three days for the water to fall, they crossed it borne on the body of one of their carts, with the wheels detached, and with the aid of the tarpaulin, rigged like a punt.
		The river, however, was shoaling rapidly, and from the opposite side there projected a sand-spit; on each side of this narrow passage infuriated fls had gathered, and there was no mistaking their intentions.

	Queensland Racing - News - Lachlan River too good in the Derby
		Lachlan River (G3 Desert King-Viveasha), which was only having his eighth start, won by a half-length from Lords A Leaping (Steven King), with Queensland Oaks heroine Vitesse Dane (Hugh Bowman), just a long neck away in third.
		“Lachlan River has done a great job as he has only been back in work for three months and 11 days, so I haven’t been able to give him a lot of work for this and there is still a lot that I am learning about the horse,” Morrisey said.
		Morrisey bought Lachlan River, which is by the same sire as dual Melbourne Cup winner Makybe Diva for just $NZ 40,000 as a yearling at the Karaka sales in New Zealand and the Derby win was his third victory from eight starts and the $320,000 winners cheque took his earnings up to $348,500.
