The headwaters of the river rise in a valley under Mount Millar in the Clarke Range, part of the Great Dividing Range, just north of the Eungella National Park. It flows in a northerly direction parallel with the Bruce Highway passing Kamo and Caping then discharging into the Repulse Fish Habitat area near Covering Beach and onto the Coral Sea.
The river has a catchment area of 2,388 square kilometres (922 sq mi) of which an area of 128 square kilometres (49 sq mi) is composed of estuarine wetlands.[4]
