	Molonglo River - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The river's name was recorded as the "Yeal-am-bid-gie" in 1820 by the explorer Charles Throsby.
		In the early years of European settlement both the Molonglo and the Queanbeyan were known as the "Fish River" for the abundance of native fish in them.
		The Molonglo was renowned as a beautiful river with excellent fishing for native Murray Cod, Golden Perch and Silver Perch.

	Murrumbidgee River - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Murrumbidgee River is a major river in the state of New South Wales, Australia.
		The river flows for 2,172 km from its source in the Australian Alps near Mount Kosciuszko to its confluence with the Murray River.
		The upper Murrumbidgee was discovered in 1823 by a party of settlers led by Mark Currie, but the extent of the river was not realised until 1829, when Charles Sturt and his party rowed down the length of the river to the Murray, and then down the Murray to the sea.

		Molonglo Reach is a narrow strip of riverside parkland between the Molonglo River and the Royal Military College, Duntroon.
		In 1910, as the development of the federal capital commenced, the Royal Military College was established in the vicinity of the homestead, which became the Officer's mess.
		Molonglo Reach was designed and developed by the National Capital Development Commission in the early 1960s.

		Molonglo settlement is located on land which slopes from the crest of a low hill, northeasterly, towards the Molonglo River.
		Molonglo settlement, which was originally designed as an internment camp for prisoners of war, is laid out in an orderly manner with streets at right angles to one another.
		Molonglo has at present a population of about 655 of whom 113 are under 5 years of age, and 96 between the ages of 5 and 12.

		The major impacts affecting the rivers and streams of the Upper Murrumbidgee River catchment include chemical pollutants, trace metal contamination, nutrient enrichment, rural runoff, habitat degradation, sedimentation and river regulation.
		With the exception of river regulation, all the described impacts are directly related to land use practices.
		Thus, trace metal contamination from the Captains Flat Mine is still adversely affecting the biological condition of the Molonglo River.

		The Molonglo River was known in the local aboriginal language as "Yeal-am-bidgee".
		The Molonglo was once renowned as a beautiful river with excellent fishing for native Murray Cod, Golden Perch and Silver Perch.
		Consquently, when Lake Burley Griffin was built upon the Molonglo and filled in 1964 the waters were devoid of native fish.

	ACT Commissioner for the Environment - Indicator: Aquatic Macroinvertebrates (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-08)
		River health in the ACT was largely determined by human activities, such as land use and river regulation.
		Lack of shading by river bank vegetation and the shallow, warmer waters that are associated with prolonged drought contribute to algal growth and consequent changes in the abundance of some macroinvertebrate species.
		River health in the ACT is assessed using the AUSRIVAS method which investigates invertebrate diversity in specified stream sections (test sites) in relation to reference sites with similar habitat attributes.

	The Story of Canberra - Yesterday's Canberra
		The site of St John's, on a hill overlooking the Molonglo River and part of 'Duntroon' was donated by the Campbell family together with $2 000 towards building costs.
		The stone is the same as that used in St John's Church and Schoolhouse, locally quarried from Black Mountain and Mount Ainslie, its colours varying from the sunny gold of sandstone to a rock of contrasting darker reddish-purple colour.
		It was built close to the ground at front, with steps at the rear where the land sloped away towards the nearby Molonglo River.

		The Molonglo was in poorer biological condition, with the effluent discharge being one of several impacts on the river.
		In general, impacts of the effluent discharge on macroinvertebrate taxa appeared to be few, and were difficult to separate from the impacts already present on the Molonglo River from upstream sources.
		This contrasts with the Molonglo river, where this correlation was not apparent.

	PRICE, PLAN FOR CANBERRA
		The Houses of Parliament were located on Camp Hill, south of the Molonglo River, the position being central and dominant, well sheltered by a natural belt of trees from the cold westerly and south-westerly winds in winter, and open to the cooling north winds in summer.
		The chief residential area is south of the Molonglo River, and west of the railway.
		The main bridge over the Molonglo River and across the lake, shown on Plate No. 4, is 150 feet wide on plan, though it is actually only 100 feet wide, as it consists of two 50-feet wide bridges with an open space 50 feet wide between them.

	Ferns in the Molonglo Gorge
		: The Molonglo River rises in the ranges 50 km to the southeast of Canberra.
		The river has cut through sandstone and mudstone laid down on the ocean floor during the Ordovician period, over 450 million years ago.
		The river at this point carries runoff from the nearby town of Queanbeyan, and still possibly some heavy metals from the old mines upstream at Captain's Flat, so it is probably best not to drink it!

		The group is concerned with water quality and one current project involves a pilot project to control willows on the Molonglo River.
		This project aims to assess the cost of control over a kilometre stretch of the river, killing and removing willows, revegetating as necessary, monitoring the long term results (as with all the projects).
		The willows on the Molonglo are becoming senescent, and are subject to collapse, which could lead to choking of the river and loss of the remnant vegetation.

		The Molonglo River flows through Canberra, as does the Murrumbidgee now that the city has extended to the south in Tuggeranong.
		At its western end, the Molonglo has been dammed to form the body of water in the centre of the city called Lake Burley Griffin.
