Hutt River (Western Australia)
Hutt River is a river in the Mid West region of Western Australia. The river rises east of the North West Coastal Highway, between the towns of Northampton and Binnu. It flows in a westerly direction until reaching Broken Anchor Bay on the Indian Ocean south-east of Port Gregory. The main tributary for the Hutt River is Kennedy Creek. Others are Yarder Gully and Swamp Gully, which are important contributors of fresh water to the river. Under normal flow, the Hutt River runs to the north for less than before breaking through the final dune and flowing to the sea. Under heavy flow it breaks straight through. Hutt Lagoon, north of the river mouth, is a marginal marine salina. Similar to Lake MacLeod, north of Carnarvon, Hutt Lagoon is fed by marine waters through a barrier ridge and by meteoric waters through springs. Due to the salina's below sea-level position, seepage of seawater into the salina is continuous year round. History The first European to discover the river ...
