Turon River, a perennial stream〔 that is part of the Macquarie catchment within the Murray–Darling basin, is located in the central western district of New South Wales, Australia. The Turon River rises on the western slopes of the Great Dividing Range in the Capertee Valley, west of Ben Bullen, and flows generally to the north west and then west, joined by the Crudine River, and then forms its confluence with the Macquarie River south west of Hill End; dropping over the course of its length. The Turon River is well renowned because it was the site of one of Australia's first alluvial gold rushes.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Mining Heritage - Profile 3 - Alluvial Gold )〕 During the gold rush Chinese migrant workers built a water race to bring water to mining operations along sections of the Turon River. Many parts of the race can still be seen today, such as at Turon Gates. The Turon River was the site of violence between miners and licensing authorities during the gold rush. The upper reaches of the Turon River are partly bound by Turon National Park, established in 2002, while the lower reaches open onto private grazing property. The Turon River is ideal for many family activities with many small businesses operating tourist activities including horse riding, gold panning, canoeing, camping, and seasonal fishing. ==See also== * Sofala, New South Wales * Rivers of New South Wales * List of rivers of Australia 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「Turon River」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
