The Little River is a perennial stream of the Port Phillip catchment, located in the Greater Metropolitan Melbourne region of Victoria, Australia. It was also known as Cocoroc Rivulet.[3]
The Little River rises in the Brisbane Ranges, near and flows generally east through the Werribee Plain, joined by three minor tributaries, before reaching its mouth at Port Phillip, north of Beacon Point near the boundary between the City of Greater Geelong and the City of Wyndham. The river descends over its course.[2]
The traditional Aboriginal name of the river is Diabagnorite or Worrin-yaloke.[4] [5]
