Location: | Labertouche - 905863. Two kilometres north of the Princes Highway at Longwarry north. | |
Access: | Morrisons Road. | |
Ownership: | Private land Crown Land. | |
Geomorphology: | The Bunyip River, at the junction of Two Mile Creek and Cannibal Creek is bordered by river terraces with well defined margins. The Bunyip is incised into the flood plain to a depth of five metres, and traces of the former higher level channels on the bordering terrace are very distinct. This phase of channel incision may be related to rejuvenation of the river following drainage and clearing of the former swamp lands to the south over the past century. | |
Significance: | Regional. The site is a clear example of the development of river terraces by an episode of stream incision. | |
Management: | Class 2. Further straightening of the river channel should not be permitted on this sector. |
