The '''Anthony River''', part of the [[Pieman River]] catchment, is a [[perennial river]] in the [[West Coast, Tasmania|West Coast]] region of [[Tasmania]], Australia. |
|||
==Location and features== |
|||
It is located on the northern slopes of the [[West Coast Range (Tasmania)]] running east of [[Mount Murchison, Tasmania|Mount Murchison]], and into the upper [[Murchison River]]. |
|||
The river rises below the [[Tyndall Range]] on the northern slopes of the [[West Coast Range (Tasmania)|West Coast Range]] and drains Lake Huntley. The river flows east of [[Mount Murchison, Tasmania|Mount Murchison]] then north through Lake Rolleston before heading northwest and flowing through Lake Plimsoll. Thereafter the river flows northeast where it reaches its [[confluence]] with the [[Murchison River (Tasmania)|Murchison River]] within [[Lake Murchison]].<ref name=bonzle1/><ref name=bonzle2/> |

The Anthony River, part of the Pieman River catchment, is a perennial river in the West Coast region of Tasmania, Australia.
Location and features
[edit]The river rises below the Tyndall Range on the northern slopes of the West Coast Range and drains Lake Huntley. The river flows east of Mount Murchison then north through Lake Rolleston before heading northwest and flowing through Lake Plimsoll. Thereafter the river flows northeast where it reaches its confluence with the Murchison River within Lake Murchison.[1][2]
The river was dammed and combined with the waters of the Henty River for a minor hydro electric scheme, that followed the failure of the Hydro Tasmania plans to dam the Franklin and Gordon rivers.[3][4]
The river also drains the glacial lakes of the northern end of the West Coast Range, and the Tyndalls.
