		The river rises at the foot of Mt Lonarch in the Central Highlands near the small town of Amphitheatre, and flows north for 270km through Avoca, Charlton and Quambatook.

		Although the Avoca has a substantial 6900 square kilometres catchment area (the fifth largest in Victoria), most of that area is on the northern plains where rainfall averages only about 350 mm per year, and where there is little runoff as the terrain is very flat.
