Location and features

The river rises below Mount Dipwood (over 530 m (1,740 ft))[note 1] in the Dip Range (over 620 m (2,030 ft)),[note 2] and flows generally north into Bass Strait between the localities of Wiltshire and Black River.[1] The river descends 332 metres (1,089 ft) over its 55.8-kilometre (34.7 mi) course.[3]

gollark: I'm trying to access the osmarks.tk bookCLOUD™, it has some stats on this.
gollark: Wait, that book is popular so people actually know about it, what vaguely ridiculously esoteric books have I read...
gollark: Er. Hmm. Rincewind?
gollark: Imagine: someone tells you "yes I really like [CHARACTER] or [EVENT]". If you have no idea what book they're from or any idea about it, you may have to embarrass yourself and say you don't know! But with a way to search all books ever (okay, you can't do that with just public domain ones however bees) you can have vague surface level knowledge of something on demand!
gollark: I'm aware of that, but they don't have a convenient search thing.
