The
Dart River , a
perennial river of the North-East
Murray catchment of the
Murray-Darling basin , is located in the
Alpine region of
Victoria ,
Australia . It flows from the northwestern slopes of the
Alpine National Park in the
Australian Alps , south and joins with the
Mitta Mitta River within
Lake Dartmouth .
Course
The river rises in remote state forestry land within the Wabba Wilderness Park, below the Great Dividing Range . The river flows generally south by southwest, joined by six minor tributaries before reaching its confluence with the Mitta Mitta River at Lake Dartmouth, formed by the Dartmouth Dam. The river descends 447 metres (1,467 ft) over its 29-kilometre (18 mi) course .
Recreation
The river is popular for fishing , with abundant brown trout to 400 grams (14 oz), some rainbow trout to 200 grams (7.1 oz), numerous river blackfish to 80 grams (2.8 oz) and a few small redfin and Macquarie perch at some times of the year.
An area of approximately 35,000 hectares (86,000 acres) located adjacent to where the Dart River empties into Lake Dartmouth, named the Dart River Goldfields Area, is listed as an indicative area on the Register of the National Estate . The area is considered historically significant due to its relatively undisturbed setting of the history of gold mining , with many machinery relics from the 1870s.
