The western tributaries of the upper Loddon River support some of North Central Victoria’s more notable aquatic animal species, notably the elusive Platypus and the threatened River Blackfish.
Unfortunately, much of this important riparian vegetation is in a degraded state, mostly as a result of threats from widespread vegetation clearing, salinity, unrestricted livestock access, woody weed infestations, and streambank and gully erosion.

For almost half its entire length, the Loddon River and its tributaries flow along a valley tract in the Highlands, on a dissected plateau of Palaeozoic sediments, Devonian intrusives, and Cainozoic volcanic rocks.
