Still this one:
Looking for the name of the river below that bridge
In southern Australia, but not in Victoria

Here is a riddle hint.
What’s in the river is in the name, but River is not in the name
Sandy?
It’s in southern Australia, but not in South Australia
Murray River
Scamander
Be careful, now, you’re in Tasmania.
I’m gonna play it safe and stay on the mainland with the wombats and the koalas.
To recap the clues (I don’t know if I got all of them):
[To give an idea of what “in Australian terms” means in this case:]
Silverton
tando:Australia…
now we are getting somewhere, Silverton in Australia is not that far away from that place, by Australian standards
The Anglesea River is a perennial river of the Corangamite catchment, located in the Otways region of the Australian state of Victoria. The Anglesea River rises in the Otway Ranges east of Winchelsea and flows generally east by south before reaching its mouth and emptying into Bass Strait near the town of the same name. In the Aboriginal Australian Wathawurrung language the name for the river is Kuarka-dorla, meaning "place to catch mullet".
In southern Australia, but not in Victoria
What’s in the river is in the name, but River is not in the name
It’s in southern Australia, but not in South Australia
This poet has provided some additional helpful hints:
Go and catch a falling star,
Blackwater?
Mooney Mooney creek … clues are making it worse
Stony Creek?
My apologies; I guess my recap wasn’t really a recap; it was too complicated. I’ll try again:
The river we’re looking for is not called a river by name, and it contains something that is also in its name. It is in southern Australia, a few hundred kilometers away from the Anglesea River, which is in Victoria Province, but the river we’re looking for is not in Victoria Province. It’s also not in South Australia Province.
A Creek in NSW?
A Creek in NSW?
That sounds plausible, but I don’t want to risk misleading you. I’ve been awfully wrong quite a few times in this game.
I don’t know whether we can rely on this, but this is what Wikipedia says about southern Australia:
The term Southern Australia is generally considered to include the states and territories of Australia of New South Wales, Victoria, Tasmania, the Australian Capital Territory and South Australia. The part of Western Australia south of latitude 26° south – a definition widely used in law and state government policy – is also usually included.
Again, caveat lector.
It’s hard to imagine that anything in Western Australia Province would fit the clues that @hannes has given:
I forgot something: @hannes also said “Kennet and Wye [are] the closest so far,” bearing in mind that the river we’re looking for is not in Victoria Province.
Curiouser and curiouser
it contains something that is also in its name
I do hope it’s not Frenchmans Creek…
I do hope it’s not Frenchman s Creek…
Lol.
Edited to add: Wait a sec. What if the Frenchman lives on a houseboat in Frenchman’s Creek? (Just kidding.)
Not much time right now. Someone said something about Tasmania. Why don’t you guys go ahead and search there?
Crayfish Creek
