Learn about the Burdekin and Haughton catchments

Learn about the Burdekin and Haughton catchments, flood behaviour and the interactions of flood with the landscape and the communities living in it. The Burdekin River catchment includes two main tributaries, the Burdekin River, one of Australia’s larger rivers flows from the north, and the Belyando River flows from the south. They join at the Burdekin Falls Dam. Downstream of the Dam, the Bowen and Bogie Rivers join the Burdekin River before it flows into the sea near Ayr/Home Hill. The neighbouring Haughton River catchment includes the major tributaries, Reid River and Major Creek.
