Major Australia Rivers

The Goulburn is the most important Victorian tributary to the Murray River. This section is typical of many rivers in the Murray-Darling basin.  It is full of fallen trees which provide the habitat preferred by native fish. Unfortunately, its use as merely a supply channel for irrigation using water from the very large man made Lake Eildon severely interferes with natural cycles in the river. As a result, despite what seems like adequate habitat in the middle and lower reaches, fish populations are far below optimum.
