The Triangle near Woods Point.

In mapping terms it's called a watershed. Sheds water to the lower ground on either side!

1 Metre or two makes a big difference.

"And any rain that falls a few meters to the east ends up 165km to the east at lakes entrance via about 250km in The Thompson and LaTrobe rivers."

...... or ends up in Port Phillip Bay via the Thomson Reservoir offtake, lots of pipes, your kitchen tap & yet more pipes :o)

Hi Boobook ,
Very interesting, there is a similar situation in the Snowy Mountains just east of Old Adaminaby.

Lake Eucumbene was built to dam the Eucumbene River which fed into the Snowy River & entered the sea at Marlo Vic. The top of spillway adjacent to the dam wall is in fact slightly higher than an area of land in a valley just east of the Old Adaminaby Township approximately fifteen kilometres upstream from the spillway. This would have allowed the water to flow through the valley towards Adaminaby and on into the Murrumbidgee entering the sea at Goolwa S.A. via the Murray rather than over the spillway. A small man made earthen embankment was later built to avoid this situation.

There would not be too many places where one could stand and if it were to rain, the rain dripping off one shoulder would run flow to the east & off the other shoulder to the west of the Great Dividing Range. The embankment can be seen on Google Earth.

Cheers,

I have just been checking out a new ECO size Foxwing ,and discovered that its not very useful in wind blown rain.

I think I can say that the watershedding from every direction ended up in one concentrated spot.

Under my foxwing.
