The Albert River is a perennial river of the West Gippsland catchment, located in the South Gippsland region of the Australian state of Victoria.

Course and features

The Albert River rises below Madalya, on the eastern slopes of the Strzelecki Ranges, in a state forestry area. The river flows in a highly meandering course generally east by south, joined by the Jack River and one minor tributary, before reaching its mouth and emptying into the Corner Inlet of Bass Strait near the town of {{VICcity|Port Albert}} in the Shire of Wellington. The river descends {{convert|211|m}} over its {{convert|39|km|adj=on}} course.[4]

The South Gippsland Highway traverses the river, south of {{VICcity|Alberton}}.[4] The Albert River sub-catchment area is managed by the West Gippsland Catchment Management Authority.

Etymology

In the Australian Aboriginal Brataualung language the river is named as Lurt'bit, with no clearly defined meaning.[1][2]

The river was discovered in 1841 by William Adams Brodribb, an early settler, and named in honour of Prince Albert.[5][6]
