Goodradigbee River, a
.Course and features
The river rises below
course of the river's length of 105 kilometres (65 mi).[1]
The majority of the catchment (95%) is forested with the upper catchment within the
Tantangara Reservoir via an aqueduct, but otherwise the river is not dammed.[3]
In 1968 the
National Capital Development Commission considered building a dam at Brindabella Valley for the purpose of sending water into the Cotter River via a tunnel.[4]
The bridge over the Goodradigbee at
Wee Jasper was completed in 1896 and is heritage-listed as being an early example of an Allan type timber truss road bridge.[5]
An alternative name for the river was 'Little River' and it was officially known as "Goodradigbee (or Little) River", until 22 May 1970.[6][7]
