The Little Dargo River is a perennial river[2] of the Mitchell River catchment, located in the Alpine region of the Australian state of Victoria.
The Little Dargo River rises below the Gow Plain, part of the Great Dividing Range, southwest of Dinner Plain in the Alpine National Park. The river flows generally south by east, joined by one minor tributary before reaching its confluence with the Dargo River, within the Shepherd Creek Reference Area, in the Alpine Shire. The river descends 1,100 metres (3,600 ft) over its 21-kilometre (13 mi) course.[3]
