The Sabina River is a river in the South West of Western Australia.
The headwaters of the river rise in the
Busselton and finally into the Indian Ocean via Wonnerup Inlet and Geographe Bay
.
Construction of a bridge over the Abba and Sabina rivers commenced in 1860, despite dreadful weather, and the rivers running high at the time.[3] The Abba and Sabina rivers were part of drainage systems being worked on in the early 1900s.[4] In the 2000s further management plans were being worked upon for the two rivers as part of the Geographe catchment.[5]
