I am aware of the location of the Georges river is, but the other one is an
unknown to me. I will get a better atlas  (or map)

Unfortunately the Derwent river is getting too polluted now. The fish just
are not there anymore. I do not trust eating oysters that are farmed in the
Derwent when there is 10,000 tons of concentrated zinc ore sitting under
the Tasman bridge.  Short term may not be a problem, but as far as I know,
heavy metals accumulate over time before their poisoning symptoms appear

Would you be happy eating any fish that you knew had been caught in the
Georges river? If the answer is no, I rest my case. :-)
