	Avon River (Eastern Victoria) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Avon River rises on the slopes of Mount Wellington (altitude 1634m) in the eastern highlands and flows south to Lake Wellington.
		Considerable demand is placed on the Latrobe and Thomson Rivers for supply of Melbourne’s water, industrial use in Australia’s largest pulp and paper mill and the power industry in the Latrobe Valley, and for irrigation.
		The river was important to the local Gunai/Kurnai indigenous people, highlighted by Knob Reserve, 3km south of Stratford, being part of the Gunai/Kurnai Bataluk Cultural Trail.

		River elevation upriver at Dawson is 840 feet, downriver at Layton is 800 feet, a 60 foot drop in 5 to 6 miles.
		The average depth of a gorge from the rim excludes the high points of reference that are located away from the rim, uses the average river elevation of the upriver and downriver ends of the gorge, and averages a sampling of elevations along the rim of the gorge.

	Bruce Evans' Page
		While there is still a little reed growth on the river side of the silt jetties, on the lake side the bottom is bare of aquatic vegetation and there is nothing to dampen the waves generated by the wind and they erode the banks.
		It was many years before a River Improvement Trust could be formed to tackle the task of stabilising the steep, eroding banks of the new section and to remove the willows choking the old section, because the owners of small allotments near Sale kept voting out the proposal.
		As the level of the lakes dropped slowly once and entrance opened again, the velocity of the river would gradually move this silt and as it reached the lake, drop it on either side of the main current of the river, reinforcing and extending the silt jetties.

	SRW - Headworks - Blue Rock Dam
		The Latrobe Valley electricity generating companies are able to extract 150,000 ML/a of yield of Blue Rock from the Latrobe River, for use as cooling water in existing power stations and for future power generation expansion.
		Water drawn from the storage is available to maintain minimum flows in the Latrobe River during periods of naturally low flows as required by the State Environment Protection Policy for the waters of the Latrobe River.
		The Upper Latrobe River system is operated such that a minimum flow of 90-150 megalitres per day (ML/d) is maintained in the Latrobe River at a point just downstream of its confluence with the Morwell River.

	Nicholas Roosevelt's 1811 Steamboat, First Steamboat Voyage
		Morning after morning, the rise in the river during the night was reported; and finally, in the last week in November, it was ascertained that the depth of water in the shallowest portion of the Falls, exceeded by five inches the draught of the boat.
		to the native inhabitants of the boundless forest that lined the river banks, the coming of the first steamboat was an omen of evil; and as it was the precursor of their own expulsion from their ancient homes, no wonder they continued, for years, to regard all steamboats with awe.
		As the New Orleans descended the river it passed out of the region of the earthquake, and the principal inconvenience was the number of shoals and snags, and sawyers.

		Field and laboratory studies of River Red Gum (Eucalyptus camaldulensis) and Swamp Paperbark (Melaleuca ericifolia) were undertaken to explore the magnitude and distribution of the bank reinforcing effects of their root networks.
		Fieldwork was undertaken on the Latrobe River (Gippsland, Victoria) to determine if the additional weight of riparian trees contributes to overall bank instability.
		Levels of reinforcement at sites along the Latrobe River were minimal beyond the canopy driplines of each species and below about 1.3 m depth in the case of the Swamp Paperbark and 2 m in the case of the River Red Gum.

		The old tram tracks, which were built to convey timber from the forests to the sawmills, have now been converted into outstanding forest walks which radiate outwards from the town into the forests of mountain ash (the second-largest tree species in the world).
		Intricate trestle bridges associated with the tramways remain at river crossings, as do some tunnels which were blasted through hills when the gradient was too steep.
		An option here is to watch for the sign which indicates the start of the LaTrobe River Walk (8 km return) which follows a tramway along the LaTrobe River east to the LaTrobe River Camping Area where an overnight stay is a possibility.

		Within the Latrobe basin it is confined to the north-east, from near Glengarry to Lake Wellington.
		Recharge of the aquifers is thought to be occurring through the overlying Quaternary river sediments along the Avon, Macalister and Thomson Rivers, close to the highlands.
		Recharge is probably from rainfall (through the soil) or from surface waters, and discharge is to deeper aquifers, surface waters or to the atmosphere by evapotranspiration (Harris 1976a).

	Recycled water may be a dam shame - OpinionEditorial - www.theage.com.au
		The Thomson River rises on the slopes of the Baw Baw Plateau and flows 213 kilometres south-east before joining the Latrobe River.
		It still flows, of course, but the effect of diverting up to 93 per cent of its natural flow into Melbourne's storages are evident downstream of the dam in terms of excess nutrients, turbidity and threats to native species.
		A $1 billion-plus proposal floated this week by Deputy Premier John Thwaites to pump water from Melbourne's treated sewage back into the Thomson River is an indication at least that the State Government is taking the future of the state's water supply seriously.
