For the cave complex in New Mexico, USA, see Snowy River Cave. The Snowy River is a major river in south-eastern Australia. It originates on the slopes of Mount Kosciuszko, Australia's highest mainland peak, draining the eastern slopes of the Snowy Mountains in New South Wales, before flowing through the Snowy River National Park in Victoria and emptying into Bass Strait. Up until the mid 20th century, the river was notable for its high volume of fresh water, wide reach and large rapids.

  • For the cave complex in New Mexico, USA, see Snowy River Cave. The Snowy River is a major river in south-eastern Australia. It originates on the slopes of Mount Kosciuszko, Australia's highest mainland peak, draining the eastern slopes of the Snowy Mountains in New South Wales, before flowing through the Snowy River National Park in Victoria and emptying into Bass Strait. Up until the mid 20th century, the river was notable for its high volume of fresh water, wide reach and large rapids. While the river's course and surroundings have remained almost entirely unchanged, the majority of it being protected by the Snowy River National Park, its flow was drastically reduced in the mid 20th century, to less than 1%, after the construction of various dams and reservoirs at its headwaters in New South Wales, as part of the Snowy Mountains Scheme. From 2002 to 2008 the flow was increased from 1% to 4%, however targets of 15% by 2009 and 21% by 2012 are unlikely to be met. The poem The Man from Snowy River, set on the river and its surrounds, was written by 'Banjo' Paterson in 1890, which formed the basis of many subsequent works in film, TV and music theatre.
  • Der Snowy River ist ein großer Fluss im Südosten Australiens. Er entspringt in den Snowy Mountains, New South Wales und mündet in Marlo, in der Nähe von Orbost, Victoria ins Meer. Der Snowy River wurde durch ein Wassergewinnungsprojekt für die Hauptstadt Australiens Canberra und die Ballade The Man from Snowy River des australischen Nationalpoeten Banjo Paterson bekannt.
  • Sněžná řeka je řeka na jihovýchodě Austrálie ve státech Nový Jižní Wales a Victoria. Je dlouhá 483 km. Povodí má rozlohu 13 500 km².
  • Snowy on joki Kaakkois-Australiassa. Se saa alkunsa Snowy Mountainsilta ja virtaa Uuden Etelä-Walesin ja Victorian läpi etelää kohti. 1950-luvulla toteutetussa Snowy Mountainsin vesivoimahankkeen myötä Snowy-jokeen rakennettiin Jindabyne-pato, jonka avulla 99 % Snowyn vesistä siirrettiin virtaamaan Murray- ja Murrumbidgee-jokiin. Elokuussa 2002 Snowyssä virtaava vesimäärää nostettiin noin 4 % sen alkuperäisestä virtauksesta. Televisiosarjan Lumisen virran mies nimi viittaa Snowy-jokeen.
