The headwaters of the river rise in the Warrego Range, south of Tambo. Formed by the confluence of Larry Creek and Rams Gully in Lansdowne, the river flows generally south,[1] mostly as braided channels, before reaching its confluence with the Warrego River south-west of Charleville that ultimately flows into the Darling River.[1]
