The Kennet River, commonly spelled Kennett River, originates in the forested Otway Ranges and flows about 7 kilometres south through Great Otway National Park to Bass Strait, draining a small, high-rainfall catchment. Near the coast, it slows into still, tea-coloured pools fringed by eucalypts and dense undergrowth, like this quiet bend. At the mouth, it forms a small estuary behind the beach, sometimes closed by a sandbar and reopening to the sea after higher flows.
