Deddick River
river in Victoria, Australia
The Deddick River is a perennial river of the Snowy River catchment, in the Alpine region of the Australian state of Victoria.
Course and features
The Deddick River rises below Mount Little Bill in a remote alpine wilderness area within the Snowy River National Park, and flows generally north, leaving the national park, then northwest through the locality of Tubbut, and then west-southwest. The river is joined by the Bonang River and sixteen minor tributaries, before reaching its confluence with the Snowy River in the Snowy River National Park below Mount Bulla Bulla, a few hundred metres north of the McKillops Bridge in the Shire of East Gippsland. The river descends 693 metres (2,274 ft) over its 60-kilometre (37 mi) course.
McKillops Road is located adjacent to much of the course of the river, and traverses the river on several occasions.
The traditional custodians of the land surrounding the Deddick River are the Australian Aboriginal Bidawal and Nindi-Ngudjam Ngarigu Monero peoples.

Why this record matters
A short description can identify a subject without explaining its stakes. For “Deddick River”, the useful work is to connect “river in Victoria, Australia” to the records capable of establishing context and consequence.
Maps, plans, fabric surveys and administrative records can establish how the site’s name, extent and function changed over time. The source revision retrieved here is dated Aug 3, 2026. The linked authority identifier is Q1182131. The first chronological checks are 2013 and 2014.
A single description cannot reconcile every naming convention, rebuilding phase or administrative transfer associated with a place. The lead is largely declarative, so disagreement and counter-evidence require a deliberate search beyond the opening account. Authority statements aid reconciliation but still require their own references, qualifiers and ranks to be checked.
