geography
River course
The river rises east of the Strasburg settlement , about 15 kilometers southwest of the Cudmore National Park and initially flows about 22 kilometers in a westerly direction. Then it turns its course south to the Tropic of Capricorn . From there it flows to the southwest and shortly thereafter passes under the Capricorn Highway at the Alice settlement . About 20 kilometers southeast of Barcaldine it turns to the northwest and flows towards the city, which it passes in the south and turns its course to the southwest. In Honan Downs , halfway between Barcaldine and Isisford , joins the Alice River in the Barcoo River .
