Course and features
The Benedore River rises in the Benedore River Reference Area and flows generally south southeast, through the Seal Creek Reference Area, before reaching its mouth with Bass Strait within the Croajingolong National Park in the Shire of East Gippsland. The river descends 184 metres (604 ft) over its 11-kilometre (6.8 mi) course.[2]
The four beaches at the river mouth, south of Mallacoota, form a naturally occurring dam resulting in a 1 kilometre (0.62 mi) long, narrow, winding lake behind the southeast sea-facing beaches.[3][4][5][6]
gollark: Hi. I've firmed Bristol (for maths and computer science) and this seemed like a reasonable place to look at things in advance of actually going there.
gollark: Very little, since it's only me and a few friends.
gollark: "Okay" meaning good tick times and relatively few `couldn't keep up` errors.
gollark: My mostly unused 1.12 server with about 60 mods runs okay on 3.5GB.
gollark: If it's an unmodded server with relatively few players it won't eat *that* much RAM.
