Geocache Description:


The Loddon River’s journey begins in Victoria’s Great Dividing Range not far from Trentham. It flows 392 km north through the townships of Newstead, Bridgewater, Serpentine, Boort and Kerang, before joining the Murray River between Barham and Swan Hill.

The water downstream from the weir can be up to 5-7 metres deep and provides fishing opportunities for redfin, golden perch, silver perch, carp and to a lesser extent Murray cod. Downstream from the Loddon Weir the river averages 7 to 14 metres wide, and up to 26 metres wide at certain points, with a bank height of around 3 metres.

The Loddon is the north-central Victoria’s largest river and home to many threatened species.
