The Black River is a perennial river for most of its length, located in the north-western region of Tasmania, Australia.[2]
The river rises below Mount Dipwood (over 530 m (1,740 ft))[note 1] in the Dip Range (over 620 m (2,030 ft)),[note 2] and flows generally north into Bass Strait between the localities of Wiltshire and Black River.[1] The river descends 332 metres (1,089 ft) over its 55.8-kilometre (34.7 mi) course.[3]
