Location and features
The Little Yarra River rises in native forests in the Yarra Ranges around Powelltown in east–central Victoria. The river flows generally west by north, passing through rural areas and joined by one minor tributary, before reaching its confluence with the Yarra River west of the town of Yarra Junction.[3][4] The river descends 147 metres (482 ft) over its 24 kilometres (15 mi) course.[2]
The river is traversed by the Warburton Highway east of Yarra Junction.[2]

gollark: It says> As of Spring 2021, shipments of the EVB002 evaluation kit and of G144A12 chips continue to be made. The arrayForth 3 integrated development system is in use with no reported problems. Design of a new chip, G144A2x, continues; this will be upward compatible with the G144A12, with significant improvements. Development of Application Notes, including that of a solftware defined GPS receiver, continues. on there.

gollark: Reinforcement learning is a field which exists, though.
