About Lort River
The Lort River is a river in the Goldfields-Esperance region and the Eastern Mallee sub-region of Western Australia. Lort River was named in 1848 by John Septimus Roe, the Surveyor General of Western Australia, while leading a five-man exploration expedition along the coast; the name commemorates John Lort Stokes' work on HMS Beagle surveying the Western Australian coast. The headwaters of the Lort River begin in the Peak Charles National Park and its surrounding vacant Crown land.
