Location and features
The Wye River rises in the Otway Ranges in southwest Victoria and flows generally east towards the town of Wye River where the river reaches its mouth and empties into Bass Strait, north of Cape Otway. From its highest point, the river descends 601 metres (1,972 ft) over its 11-kilometre (6.8 mi) course.[3]
Etymology
The river was named by surveyor George Smythe and is derived from one of the rivers of the same name in the United Kingdom.[2]
