Rose River (Victoria)

The Rose River is a minor river located in the northeast of Victoria, Australia. It is a tributary of the King River, which in turn flows into the Ovens River, part of the Murray-Darling Basin. The Rose River's source is in the forested ranges south of Whitfield, and it flows in a generally northerly direction through valleys and agricultural land before joining the King River near the locality of Rose River.

The river's catchment area is primarily used for agriculture, including grazing and some viticulture. The surrounding landscape is characterized by rolling hills and forested slopes. The river itself is relatively small and subject to fluctuations in flow depending on rainfall.

The Rose River area is a rural community with a history of farming and logging. It offers opportunities for outdoor recreation, including fishing and bushwalking. The river contributes to the overall water resources of the King River catchment and the Murray-Darling Basin, although its contribution is smaller compared to other tributaries. There are no major towns located directly on the Rose River.
