These photos are arranged in sequence heading downstream. The River starts from permanent springs in the rainforests of the Herberton Range at about 1,200 m. From there it flows generally but circuitously north-west through the Mutchilba – Dimbulah agricultural area on through the wooded foothils of Cape York Peninsula before joining the larger Mitchell River 200 km away (direct-line distance) and at 120 m above sea level. The Mitchell River flows a further 165 km north-west before breaking into a delta some 95 km from its outflows to the Gulf of Carpentaria.
