The Henty River is a perennial river in the West Coast region of Tasmania, Australia. The river generally lies north of and south of . ==Location and features== Formed by the confluence of the Dobson and Newton Creeks, the river rises below Lake Newton on the western slopes of the Tyndall Range, northwest of Mount Tyndall, part of the West Coast Range of Tasmania. The river flows generally south by west and then west, joined by eight tributaries including the Tully, Yolande, and Badger rivers before reaching its mouth and emptying into the Southern Ocean at Henty Dunes. The river descends over its course.〔 In the area known as the Upper Henty at the river's headwaters is the Henty Gold Mine. Its upper reaches were some of the last sites of dam making by the Hydro Tasmania in its long history of regulating flow of Tasmanian rivers. The river basin is adjacent to the West Coast Range and the Lake Margaret areas, argued as having up to four separate periods of glaciation. The river is crossed by bridges that carry the Zeehan-Strahan Road and the Zeehan Highway. A former bridge that carried the Strahan-Zeehan Railway, very close to the coast and Ocean Beach, has since been demolished. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Henty River」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
