The Chetwynd River, a perennial river of the Glenelg Hopkins catchment, is located in the Western District of Victoria, Australia.

Course and features

The Chetwynd River rises southwest of Шаблон:VICcity, and flows generally west by north before reaching its confluence with the Glenelg River west of Шаблон:VICcity. The river descends Шаблон:Convert over its Шаблон:Convert course.[1] It can be crossed by vehicle (in order from upstream) at the east end of Steep Gully road, Nareen, then Tites bridge on Careys road, Nareen, then at the Casterton-Edenhope road about one mile south of Chetwynd, and again on the same road at the bridge 40 yards east of the Chetwynd T-junction, and finally just east of the northernmost point of the Chetwynd Junction road.

Flow in late summer can be reduced to a trickle, but after good rains in July/August flow rates can approach 5000L/sec.

Major Thomas Mitchell, Surveyor-General of New South Wales, explored the district in 1836. His party camped beside the Chetwynd River on the night of 4 August. He named the river "Chetwynd" after his second-in-command, Granville William Chetwynd Stapylton. Stapylton was subsequently dispatched to trace the Chetwynd River to its confluence with the Glenelg River, some 10 miles north.
