Journey of the Queensborough River
The Queensborough River starts its journey high up on the Errinundra Plateau. This area is in East Gippsland, Victoria. It begins about 11 kilometers (7 miles) northwest of a town called Combienbar.
Where the River Flows
The river flows mostly towards the north. As it travels, one smaller stream, called a tributary, joins it.
Meeting Other Rivers
After flowing for about 19 kilometers (12 miles), the Queensborough River meets another river. This river is called the Bendoc River. When these two rivers join, they form a new river known as the Little Plains River. This meeting point is near a place called Craigie, in New South Wales. It's just north of the Black-Allan Line, which is part of the border between Victoria and New South Wales.
How Far It Drops
During its journey, the Queensborough River drops about 130 meters (427 feet) in height. This shows how much the land slopes from where it starts to where it joins the Bendoc River.
