The Woady Yaloak River[1] is a river in regional Victoria, Australia. It rises near Haddon, about 10 kilometres south-west of Ballarat, and runs through Smythesdale, Scarsdale, and Cressy before emptying into Lake Corangamite. The aboriginal word means 'running water' and has been spelt Wandinyallock, Wardiyallock and Worriyallock. There is a Woady Yaloak Primary School in Smythesdale and several places in the surrounding area are named after the Woady Yaloak.
