The Waychinicup River is located in the Great Southern region of Western Australia. The headwaters of the river are located near the town of Manypeaks along the South Coast Highway, with an elevation of approximately 100m (300feet) above sea level and flows in a generally southerly direction through the Mount Manypeaks Range then through the Waychinicup National Park until it discharges into the Southern Ocean.
There is road access to the mouth of the river and it is located 65km (40miles) from Albany, Western Australia.[3]
The coastal part of the river is an estuary that is 130m (430feet) long and less than 2m (07feet) deep, it is well flushed by tidal and swell action of the ocean.[4]
