Location
The peaceful Rodger River descends from its headwaters at Big Tree Camp and Monkeytop a short distance through cool temperate rainforest to the micro-rainshadow township of Waratah Flat. From there it wanders for hundreds of kilometres with nary a person nor building in site. Here the potoroos can frolic freely in lush forests.
The Rodger is swollen by the waters of the Yalmy River and Mountain Creek and numerous other tributaries before entering the dryer south-western region of the nation. Eventually it too is subsumed - into the mighty Snowy River.
- Rodger River near Waratah Flat.
Just upstream from the confluence of the Rodger and the Snowy is the largest city of central western Errinundera, namely (low and behold) - Rodger River.
The Birth of Vegetarianism and Corporate Torching
In the nineteenth century this region of Errinundera had been used for raising cattle. Under the puritanical regime that gained power in the 1905 revolution, Rodger River led the nation in adopting vegetarianism. In the first instance of Corporate Torching angry Rodgerers burnt the headquarters and slaughteryards of Bovial Butchers Ltd to the ground when the company tried to sue the Animal Protection Enterprise for defamation.
Vegetarianism travelled up the Snowy River, via Jackson Crossing, to the influential northern city of McKillops Bridge. Soon all Errinudera had adopted vegetarianism and corporate torching with enthusiasm.
- Rodger River to the east of its namesake city. The railway bridge is on the Yalmy line.
