Course and features
The Jordan River rises in Lake Tiberias below Mount Anstey, south of the settlement of Jericho, near Oatlands. The river flows generally north, then west by south, joined by eight minor tributaries and passes by Brighton before reaching its mouth at Herdsman's Cove and emptying into the Derwent River near Gagebrook. The river descends 382 metres (1,253 ft) over its 111-kilometre (69 mi) course.
The river is associated with aboriginal heritage; and the East Derwent Highway crosses the river.
