Hotham River


L'Hotham River au pont de Pumphreys, entre Narrogin et Wandering.

Hotham is a river and one of the major tributaries of Murray in Western Australia. It reaches about 160km long with its upstream portion, the Hotham River North, which has its source in the chain Dutarning and becomes Hotham during its passage under the Great Southern Highway near Popanyinning. A 15-kilometer long tributary, the Hotham River South, is born near Cuballing and flows north before joining Hotham near Yornaning.

From Narrogin, the river runs north through the Cuballing area and the Dryandra Woodland before heading west to Wandering and Boddington.

She joins Williams near Mount Saddleback to form the Murray. Historyedit code

The stream was discovered by Thomas Bannister in 1830 and was probably named by Governor James Stirling, named after Admiral Sir Henry Hotham.
