The Burrum River is a river in the Wide Bay-Burnett region of Queensland, Australia.

Course and features

The river rises within Lake Lenthall, impounded by Lenthalls Dam at the confluence of several smaller watercourses including Harwood Creek, Woolmer Creek and Duckinwilla Creek, near the town of Burrum. Below Lenthalls Dam the river is impounded by Burrum River Weir No.2 (built in 1951) and Burrum River Weir No.1 (built in 1900).[1] The river flows in northerly direction and is crossed by the Bruce Highway near Шаблон:QLDcity. The river flows past Pacific Haven before the Isis River joins with the Burrum River at the southern edge of the Burrum Coast National Park. Together with the Gregory River, it discharges into the Burrum Fish Habitat Area in Hervey Bay that flows out to the Coral Sea, at Burrum Heads. The river descends Шаблон:Convert over its Шаблон:Convert course.[2] An estuary is formed at the mouth of the river. The Isis and Gregory Rivers also discharge into the Шаблон:Convert long and between Шаблон:Convert and Шаблон:Convert wide estuary. The area includes intensive inter-tidal flats, shallow sand banks, a meandering main channel with small patched of fringing mangroves.[1]

The catchment area of the river occupies an Шаблон:Convert of which an area of Шаблон:Convert is composed of riverine wetlands.[3] The catchment area is generally low and flat and is situated between the Burnett and Mary River catchments.[1]

The river has a mean annual discharge of Шаблон:Convert.[1]

Etymology

The river draws its name from the indigenous Australian Kabi language for a word meaning rocks interrupting river flow.[4]
