Range
Eastern freshwater cod are native to the Clarence River system in northern New South Wales, Australia. The Clarence River system is an extensive East Coast drainage with many tributaries of differing size. By Australian standards the Clarence River and its major tributaries the Mann and Nymboida Rivers are extremely large rivers with extremely large flow volumes. Eastern freshwater cod originally occurred in great abundance through all of the system, to significant altitudes, though reportedly were never found above the large falls many tributaries feature in their upper reaches.
The indigenous cod population of the Richmond River system (Richmond River Cod), now extinct, are believed to have been a population of eastern freshwater cod. The Richmond River has been restocked with fingerlings produced from Clarence River cod but there is no evidence that they are breeding (Anon, 2004).

Famous quotes containing the word range:
“Culture is the suggestion, from certain best thoughts, that a man has a range of affinities through which he can modulate the violence of any master-tones that have a droning preponderance in his scale, and succor him against himself. Culture redresses this imbalance, puts him among equals and superiors, revives the delicious sense of sympathy, and warns him of the dangers of solitude and repulsion.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
“The more the specific feelings of being under obligation range themselves under a supreme principle of human dependence the clearer and more fertile will be the realization of the concept, indispensable to all true culture, of service; from the service of God down to the simple social relationship as between employer and employee.”
—Johan Huizinga (1872–1945)
“but we wish the river had another shore,
some further range of delectable mountains,”
—Robert Lowell (1917–1977)
