Description :
The links between river mouth progradation and Holocene valley aggradation are examined with a model for the Macdonald and Tuross Rivers in south-eastern Australia. Both rivers have abandoned their main Holocene floodplains over the last 2000 years and their channels have contracted. A regional shift to smaller floods is inferred to the responsible for this change.
