Caledonia River

The Caledonia River is a perennial river of the West Gippsland catchment, located in the Alpine region of the Australian state of Victoria. It is known for packrafting opportunities, especially after winter snowmelt or heavy spring rains, with grade 2–3 rapids. Access involves a hike through 4WD tracks from Licola, Victoria.
