North Para River

North Para River

34°36′S 138°45′E / -34.6, 138.75 La North Para River est un cours d'eau australien long de 75 km qui nait à 573 m d'altitude dans la chaine Barossa, en Australie-Méridionale près d'Eden Valley et coule vers le sud-ouest dans la vallée Barossa, en passant par les villes de Nuriootpa, Tanunda, avant de fusionner avec la South Para River à Gawler pour former la rivière Gawler.

Le bassin versant (710 km²) de la North Para River est l'un des principaux bassins versants du nord de la chaîne du Mont-Lofty. La rivière joue un rôle très important dans l'économie de l'Australie-Méridionale, fournissant une bonne partie de l'eau utilisée par la viticulture dans la vallée Barossa. Ses eaux sont également utilisées pour l'élevage, les cultures céréalières et les loisirs.
