Course and features
Ada River rises below Marney Hill, northeast of Powelltown, in a state forestry area, and flows generally northeast, then south by east, before reaching its confluence with the Latrobe River, north of the Yarra Junction-Noojee Road, west of the locality of Noojee in the Shire of Baw Baw. The river descends 546 metres (1,791 ft) over its 14-kilometre (8.7 mi) course.[2]
The Ada River sub-catchment area is managed by the West Gippsland Catchment Management Authority.

gollark: If we approximate it by saying that having and raising a child consumes 50% of your resources and the other half of said resources can be used on direct contributions to things, and the child will definitely help with whatever your goal is, than the child provides a 50% benefit.
gollark: Children *are* quite expensive, but it's possible that a reducing population would actually be bad for future development of civilization and such - you would have fewer 1-in-1-million geniuses or something.
