Course and features
Formed by the confluence of the Spring Creek and Drysdale Creek, the Merri River rises below Bushfield and flows generally south joined by two minor tributaries before reaching its mouth and emptying into Stingray Bay, part of the Southern Ocean, near the city of Warrnambool. The river descends 29 metres (95 ft) over its 31-kilometre (19 mi) course.
Etymology
The river derives its name from an Aboriginal word meaning "rocky".
