The Stokes River is a river located in Victoria, Australia. It is a "perennial river," which means it flows all year round. This river is part of the larger Glenelg and Hopkins river system. You can find it in the Western District area of Victoria.
River's Journey
The Stokes River begins its journey northeast of a town called Digby. From there, it flows mostly towards the west and south. Along its path, six smaller streams, called tributaries, join the Stokes River.
Eventually, the Stokes River meets and joins the Glenelg River. This meeting point, called a confluence, is located north of Dartmoor. The river travels about 35-kilometre (22 mi) (about 22 miles) from where it starts to where it joins the Glenelg River. During this journey, the river drops about 117 metres (384 ft) (about 384 feet) in elevation.
