The landlocked Corangamite Basin drains a substantial part of south-western Victoria, from near Ballarat in the north to the area around Colac and Camperdown in the south, an area of 4188 square kilometres.
In 1959, after a series of wet years, a 38 kilometre channel was constructed near Cressy to divert part of the Woady's flow into Warrambine Creek, a tributary of the Barwon River.
In the southeast of the basin, Lake Colac is fed by the northward-flowing Deans and Barongarook Creeks.
