Course and features
Dora Creek River rises below Watagan Mountains west of Martinsville, and flows generally southeast by south, joined by two minor tributaries, before reaching its river mouth within Lake Macquarie, near the town of Dora Creek. The river descends 40 metres (130 ft) over its 22.5 kilometres (14.0 mi) course.[1][4]
The merged flows of Dora Creek together with Lake Macquarie reaches the Tasman Sea of the South Pacific Ocean at Swansea.[4]
The F3 Freeway crosses the creek, west of Morisset.[4]
gollark: Unfortunately, this is implemented poorly.
gollark: I don't really agree. It is not practical to guess what directly applicable skills will be needed in the future. It should teach general skills like learning independently fast, mathematical modelling, useful writing, languages, and that sort of thing.
gollark: It's actually possible to learn things yourself.
gollark: CVs are maaaybe suitable for teaching since I don't think there's that much to it but you can probably learn faster with good feedback.
gollark: "How to get a job" is very complex, but that just means school would teach it very uselessly and/or vaguely and/or outdatedly.
