Summary
DescriptionPortHacking-Sydney-Ria.jpg
English: Part of the Georges River estuary in the southern suburbs of Sydney. The mouth of Port Hacking is just visible in the top right of the photograph.
The original, but seriously misleading, caption read:
'"Port Hacking, in the southern suburbs of Sydney (Australia) is a ria, or drowned river valley. The deeply indented shape of the ria reflects the dendritic pattern of drainage that existed before the rise in sea level that flooded the valley."
