Little River (Tambo River, East Gippsland, Victoria)

The Little River (or Nalong) is a perennial river of the Mitchell River catchment, located in the East Gippsland region of the Australian state of Victoria.

Course and features

The Little River rises below Mount Nugong, in a state forestry area, and flows generally south, joined by one minor tributary, before reaching its confluence with the Tambo River south of Ensay in the Shire of East Gippsland. The river descends 289 metres (948 ft) over its 21-kilometre (13 mi) course.

The Little River sub-catchment area is managed by the East Gippsland Catchment Management Authority.

The river is traversed by the Great Alpine Road near Ensay.

The Australian Aboriginal name for the river in the Dhudhuroa language is Nalong with no defined meaning.
