The Delatite River in Victoria's High Country runs from the Mountains to the Murray-Darling basin. Its icy waters flow all year into its final destination in Lake Eildon. For more than 2000 generations the Taungurung people lived in close connection with this river. In the 1830s European squatters arrived in their search for good grazing land, and in the 1860s thousands of fortune hunters flocked to the area in search of gold. Later in the 19th century as the economy boomed Australia's most famous bush ranger Ned Kelly hid in the area.
