Editing Hunter Region (section)

=== Rivers ===
The main river in the region is the Hunter River, after which the region is named. Other rivers in the region include the [[Allyn River|Allyn]], [[Avon River (Mid-Coast Council)|Avon]], [[Barrington River (New South Wales)|Barrington]], [[Bow River (New South Wales)|Bow]], [[Bowman River|Bowman]], [[Chichester River|Chichester]], [[Gloucester River|Gloucester]], [[Goulburn River (New South Wales)|Goulburn]], [[Isis River (New South Wales)|Isis]], [[Karuah River|Karuah]], [[Krui River|Krui]], [[Mammy Johnsons River|Mammy Johnsons]], [[Merriwa River|Merriwa]], [[Munmurra River|Munmurra]], [[Pages River|Pages]], [[Paterson River|Paterson]], [[Wangat River|Wangat]] and [[Williams River (New South Wales)|Williams]] rivers.

Despite being the area's namesake, the Hunter River itself is not the dominant feature of the region—falling behind the Brokenback Range for that distinction. The greater river system of the Hunter, which includes the Goulburn and important tributaries such as Giants Creek, do provide needed [[irrigation (wine)|irrigation]] for areas such as the Upper Hunter than can be prone to drought condition. The origins of the river begin the [[Liverpool Range]] of the volcanic [[Barrington Tops]] and flows south and then east down to the [[Pacific Ocean]] at the seaport city of [[Newcastle, New South Wales|Newcastle]].<ref name="Hunter Valley Research Foundation"/>
