The main channel of the Avon River was originally braided, with many small channels interweaving between thickly vegetated islands, and punctuated by numerous deep, shady pools. The Avon is now a highly disturbed river system due to clearing in the catchment for agriculture, the establishment of towns adjacent to the river and the River Training Scheme (RTS).
