River Yarra

The Yarra River or historically, the Yarra Yarra River, is a perennial river in south-central Victoria, Australia. The lower stretches of the Yarra are where Victoria's state capital was established in 1835, and today metropolitan Greater Melbourne dominates and influences the landscape of its lower reaches.
