The Surry River,[2] sometimes incorrectly spelled as the Surrey River, a perennial river of the Glenelg Hopkins catchment, is located in the Western DistrictofVictoria, Australia.
The Surry River rises on the northern slopes of Mount Kincaid, north of Glenferrie and flows generally east through the extensive Cobboboonee Forest Park, joined by one minor tributary before reaching its mouth and emptying into Portland Bay of the Southern OceanatNarrawong. The river descends 146 metres (479 ft) over its 46-kilometre (29 mi) course.[1]
The river is traversed by the Henty Highway north of Heathmere and the Princes Highway near Narrawong.[1]
The river was named by Thomas Mitchell on accepting the suggestion of the Henty Brothers.[3][4]
