Stephen C. Foster State Park Stephen C. Foster State Park is an 80 acre state park located in the Okefenokee Swamp in Charlton County, Georgia. Situated on the banks of the Suwannee River, the park offers visitors several ways to explore the swamp's unique ecosystem.
Carrum Carrum Swamp The Carrum Carrum Swamp encompassed 52 square kilometres with a catchment area of 735 square kilometres. It had four outlets to the Port Phillip Bay, including Kananook Creek/Eel Race Drain, Patterson River and Mordialloc Creek. Explorer William Hovell discovered "a very extensive fresh water marsh, from 12 to 15 miles long and 11/2 to 6 broad, and only separated from Port Phillip by a narrow ridge or bank of sand not more than from two hundred to three hundred yards wide." A painting titled “Lagoon in the Carrum Carrum Swamp – evening 1872” by James W Curtis is held at the National Gallery of Australia.
