Where the River Flows
The Boonoo Boonoo River starts high up in the Great Dividing Range mountains. This is near the town of Boonoo Boonoo and the Mount Lindesay Highway. From there, it flows mostly towards the northeast.
River's Journey
As the river travels, it gets water from seven smaller streams. These streams are called tributaries. The Boonoo Boonoo River then joins with the Maryland River. This meeting point is east of a place called Rivertree.
The river travels about 44 kilometers (27 miles) in total. During its journey, it drops about 706 meters (2,316 feet) in height.
National Parks and Waterfalls
The Boonoo Boonoo River flows through two important national parks. These are the Bald Rock National Park and the Boonoo Boonoo National Park. In its upper parts, the river creates the beautiful Boonoo Boonoo Falls.
What "Boonoo Boonoo" Means
The name Boonoo Boonoo comes from the Aboriginal people. It means "poor country with no animals to provide food."
