Supply River
The Supply River is a perennial river located in the northern region of Tasmania, Australia.The river rises below Kellys Lookout within the Mount Careless Forest Reserve, southwest of and west of. The river flows generally east-northeast, joined by two minor tributaries before reaching its confluence with the Tamar River at Robigana. From this point, the river enters Bass Strait. The river descends over its course. The river is transversed by the West Tamar Highway.
The river draws its name from the supply of fresh water at a waterfall just from the river mouth, discovered in 1804 when the Lady Nelson sailed up the Tamar River. A water mill was built in circa 1825, approximately north of Launceston, upstream of the junction of the Tamar and Supply rivers. A walking trail leads from the river mouth to the water mill.
