Carron River (Queensland)

The Carron River is a river located in the Gulf Country region of Far North Queensland, Australia. It rises in the Gregory Range and flows generally north-west, eventually discharging into the Norman River delta and the Gulf of Carpentaria.

The river’s catchment area is relatively large and encompasses a diverse range of landscapes, from upland grazing lands to coastal plains. The river and its tributaries are important for local ecosystems and provide water for agricultural and pastoral activities.

The Carron River is known for its barramundi fishing. It is also home to a variety of other fish species, crocodiles, and birdlife.

The river is relatively remote, and access can be challenging, particularly during the wet season. The area is sparsely populated, with limited infrastructure.
