Etymology
In the Aboriginal Boonwurrung language the river is given two names, Weandon yallock, with yallock meaning "river" or creek",[2] and Tullungurn, with no defined meeting.[3]
The river is now named in honour of George Bass, who came to the river and surrounding area in January 1798 on his "whaleboat" expedition of the southeast coast of Australia.[3]
