The headwaters of the Rubicon River rise on the western slopes of the Victorian Alps and descend to flow into the Goulburn River. Location and featuresThe Rubicon River rises from the Great Dividing Range below the Blue Range east of {{VICcity|Buxton}}, and flows northwest, fueled by runoff from the Blue and Cerberean Ranges, joined by the Royston River and one minor tributary, before reaching its confluence with the Goulburn River, west of the town of {{VICcity|Thornton}}. The river descends {{convert|693|m}} over its {{convert|26|km|adj=on}} course.[2] The Rubicon Hydroelectric Scheme, a small run-of-the-river hydroelectric scheme, is located at the mouth of the Royston River. The Rubicon River is impounded by a {{convert|64|m|adj=on}} concrete arch dam diverts water into the {{convert|3.4|km|adj=on}} Rubicon aqueduct to the site of the Royston Power Station, where it collects water diverted from the Royston River. Water then travels a further {{convert|5.4|km}} to the Rubicon Power Station forebay. The Rubicon Power Station has two {{convert|4.6|MW|adj=on}} horizontal single-jet Pelton wheel generators. Further power stations are located at the {{convert|2.7|MW|adj=on}} Lower Rubicon Power Station, some {{convert|2.3|km}} down-river and at the {{convert|0.3|MW|adj=on}} Rubicon Falls Power Station. Established in 1924, the Scheme is on the Victorian Heritage Register[3] and the Register of the National Estate.[4] EtymologyThe river was at first probably called Rubicon Creek. The naming of the river first appeared on Thomas Ham's Map of Australia Felix in 1847, and was listed by Wells in 1848. The name of the river is derived from the Latin word rubico, a reddish river in central Italy, perhaps the modern Fiumicino or Pisciatello, at the border of Cisalpine Gaul and Italy.[1] See also{{Stack|{{portal|Victoria|Water}}}}
