State of Riverina

The State of Riverina is a proposed state of Australia, to be formed out of the current Riverina region in New South Wales and Victoria.

Support for separation of the Riverina from the rest of New South Wales dates back to the 19th century. Following World War I, a Riverina New State League operated from 1921 to 1923.[1] The Riverina Movement was one of a number of new state movements that emerged in Australia in the 1920s.[2]
