The Shaw River, a perennial river of the Glenelg Hopkins catchment, is located in the Western District of Victoria, Australia.

Course and features

The Shaw River rises near {{VICcity|Macarthur}} and flows generally south, across a coastal plain,[2] joined by three minor tributaries before reaching its confluence with the Eumeralla River in Lake Yambuk. The Eumeralla empties into Portland Bay in the Great Australian Bight south of Yambuk. The river descends {{convert|174|m}} over its {{convert|51|km|adj=on}} course.[1]

The river is traversed by the Great Ocean Road near its confluence with the Eumeralla River in Lake Yambuk, at the Yambuk Important Bird Area.

Etymology

It was named by Major Mitchell in 1836 after General Sir James Shaw Kennedy, a Peninsular War veteran.[3][4]
