The Rich River is a perennial river of the Snowy River catchment, located in the East Gippsland region of the Australian state of Victoria.
The Rich River rises below Mount Jack within the Errinundra National Park, and flows generally southwest, before reaching its confluence with the Brodribb River, in remote a state forestry area east of the Bonang Highway in the Shire of East Gippsland. The river descends over its 17km (11miles) course.[2]
The catchment area of the river is administered by the East Gippsland Catchment Management Authority.
