Eldon River
Eldon River is the main name for a pair of tributary rivers to the King River in Western Tasmania, Australia. They run north and south of the Eldon Range, which lies to the east of the West Coast Range.
The South Eldon River runs from east to west on the southern side of the Eldon Range, from a point south east of Eldon Bluff. The Eldon River runs westward, then southward, from a point north of Eldon Peak. The South Eldon and Eldon rivers join south west of Eldon Peak, becoming the King River.
The main river was a reference point for early-twentieth-century tracks in the region.[1][2]
Patsy Crawford, in her book about the King River, describes the explorer diary of Charles Gould, who named features in the area.[3]
