Course and features

The Hopkins River rises below Telegraph Hill near Шаблон:VICcity, and flows generally south, joined by twelve tributaries including the Mount Emu Creek, before reaching its mouth and emptying into Bass Strait at Шаблон:VICcity. The river descends Шаблон:Convert over its Шаблон:Convert course.[1] The river and its tributaries drain much of Lake Bolac; and north of Шаблон:VICcity the river descends over the Шаблон:Convert Hopkins Falls.[2]

Together with the Merri River, the Hopkins flows through the regional centre of Warrnambool; and the river passes by the end of the Great Ocean Road near Allansford.[1]
