==Locality==
The name of Kow Swamp is derived from an Aboriginal word in the Yorta Yorta language, ''(Ghow)'', which refers to the white gypsum soil found in the area. Kow Swamp is now a permanent water body, due to its use for irrigation storage, 15 kilometres in circumference, with an average depth of 3 metres. Originally a low lying swamp, it was filled when the Murray River is in flood or running at high levels, while Bendigo creek provides a smaller amount of water.〔CDPA (2007). Kow Swamp.
