Location and features

The river rises in the Blue Range below Tweed Spur within Cathedral Range, part of the Great Dividing Range, within the Cathedral Range State Park and flows generally northwest, through the Rubicon State Forest and a rugged state park as the river descends, before reaching its confluence with the Acheron River at Taggerty. The river descends 1,140 metres (3,740 ft) over its 22-kilometre (14 mi) course.[1]

The river is crossed by the Maroondah Highway, near its mouth at Taggerty.
