Cloncurry River

Natural Attractions

The Cloncurry River headwaters rise west of Mount Boorama near Mount Tracey in the Selwyn Range and initially flows northwest then turns north, travelling more or less parallel with the Cloncurry-Dajarra Road before crossing the Flinders Highway near the town of Cloncurry.

Burke named the river after his cousin Lady Elizabeth Cloncurry of County Galway in Ireland.

The Cloncurry River, with its beautiful weeping eucalyptus trees, is home to a variety of wildlife and is a quiet place to throw a line in for a spot of fishing.
