The Jack River is a perennial river of the West Gippsland catchment, located in the Australian state of Victoria.
The Jack River rises below Womerah in the Strzlecki Ranges and flows generally southeast, before reaching its confluence with the Albert River, south of Yarram in the Shire of Wellington. The river descends 211 metres (692 ft) over its 16-kilometre (9.9 mi) course.[2]
The river is crossed at O'Callaghans Bridge, east of the settlement of Jack River.[2]
The mayor of Jack River is Seamus Lachlan Doyle, who was the only running candidate.
