River course
It rises halfway between the small towns of Noonamah and Adelaide River , east of the Stuart Highway and flows north along the highway. Further north it is connected by an approx. 5 km long canal to the Manton reservoir west of the Stuart Highway in the recreation area of the same name. At Acacia Gap it breaks through a low range of hills to the east, takes its only tributary, the Acacia Creek , and flows into the Adelaide River .
