The river descends over its course.[2]
The catchment area comprises mainly public land, including Errinundra National Park and the Lind National Park. These areas have a broad range of ecosystems including cool and warm temperate rainforest, ancient wet eucalypt forest, coastal heathland and banksia woodland. The Bemm River catchment area is managed by the East Gippsland Catchment Management Authority.
The name of the river is derived from the Aboriginal words binn or birn of the Gunai people, meaning "fish hawk".[1]
