Lake Coorong is an eutrophic lake located in the Wimmera region of western Victoria, Australia. The lake is located adjacent to the township of Hopetoun. After more than a decade of drought, in early 2011 the lake filled as a result of flooding in the region.[3]
In the local Aboriginal Wergaia language, the river is named Yarak, with "Yarak" representing the lake and surrounding country; and also Gurrong with the word meaning "canoe".[4][5]
