Dargo, VIC

The Dargo River, originating below Mount Higginbotham in the Great Dividing Range, winds through the Alpine National Park before merging with the Wonnangatta River. Its 108-kilometer journey offers picturesque landscapes and diverse ecosystems. The river's name, derived from the Aboriginal Dhudhuroa and Waywurru languages, means "to have patience" or "to wait." Historically, it served as a vital route for miners during the Victorian Gold Rush, with settlements like Dargo emerging as key supply points. Today, the river is a haven for trout fishing, bushwalking, and four-wheel-drive enthusiasts. Access is convenient, with the Upper Dargo Road paralleling the river for over 20 kilometers upstream from the township.
