Speewa Island

Speewa Creek is an anabranch of the Murray River and at times of greater flow encloses most of the area of Speewa as Speewa Island. The upstream section of Speewa Creek is now usually dry with the island existing in name only. Speewa Island is adjacent to, and downstream from, Beveridge Island in Victoria.
