Kennett River is a small seaside town in Victoria, Australia. Situated west of Melbourne, on the Otway Coast part of the scenic Great Ocean Road, Kennett River is a popular tourist destination from the resort town of Lorne, Victoria. ==History== The river was named by surveyor George Smythe after the River Kennet in Berkshire, England . In 1882 Alex MacLennan was, with his cousins the MacReas, looking for an area suited to farming and fishing and chose this site west of the MacRea's chosen site which he named The Kennet. His cousins settled on the other side of the creek at a site named Wye River. Kennet River Post Office opened on 15 December 1938 and closed around 1964. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア(Wikipedia)』 ■ウィキペディアで「Kennett River, Victoria」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
