Location and features
The Little River rises below Castle Hill, part of the Moroka Range within the Great Dividing Range, north of Avon Wilderness Park and flows generally northwest, before reaching its confluence with the Moroka River in remote country south of the Moroka Gorge within the Alpine National Park in the Shire of Wellington. The river descends 239 metres (784 ft) over its 10-kilometre (6.2 mi) course.[2]
gollark: I assume you're about to say "well, if [POLITICAL IDEOLOGY I DISLIKE] takes over, everything will be so utterly awful that it would be better if everyone died".
gollark: I agree, but I don't think we would agree on *what*.
gollark: So in short, it would actually be very bad if we had COVID-19 but twice as infectious and with a 99% death rate, and no extant threat would come close.
gollark: That many people dying would utterly break hospitals (if anyone even turns up when they might just die from trying to treat people) and also everything else.
gollark: People would probably avoid human contact a lot more than they actually have been bothering to with COVID-19, but this hypothetical virus is twice as infectious so that would be a problem.
