Snowy
River
Snowy River Catchment Area
Rising
on the eastern slopes of Mt Kosciusko in NSW, the Snowy River
contributes 99% of its natural flow above the Jindabyne Dam to the
Snowy Mountains Hydro-electric Scheme. The Bendoc and Delegate Rivers
rise in the Errinundra National Park, and flow northward into NSW
to join the Snowy River in the Snowy Monaro High Plains. The Snowy
River enters Victoria in the
Alpine National Park heading south through the
Snowy River National Park. The western tributaries, the
Buchan River and
Murrindal River,
enter the system at the southern end of the Snowy River National
Park near Buchan.
Near Orbost, the
Snowy River flows through the fertile Snowy River flood plains before
entering the Snowy River estuary lowlands of
Lake Corringle
and the Marlo estuary, empty into the South Pacific Ocean at
Marlo.
