The Yea River is a river in central Victoria, Australia. It flows in a northerly direction through the town of Yea before entering the Goulburn River.
The river, like the town, is named [1] [2] in honour of Colonel Lacy Walter Yea [3] — a British Army colonel killed during the Crimean War in 1855, the year that Yea was founded.
