About the mitchell river
The Mitchell River is a river in Victoria, Australia, stretching for 250km from the eastern highlands to Lake King. The river has a rich history, with the indigenous Taungurung people being the traditional custodians of the Mitchell River catchment. The river has also been utilized for irrigation and hydroelectric power, with reservoirs and dams constructed along the river including the Glenmaggie Dam and the Barkly Power Station. These dams have facilitated agricultural and recreational activities, with the river offering opportunities for fishing, boating, and wildlife viewing. In recent years, there has been a focus on restoring the health of the river ecosystem, with initiatives to reduce pollution and restore native fish populations.
