Course and featuresThe river rises in the Litchfield National Park and flows generally northwards to Clarence Strait, joined by eight tributaries including the west branch of the Adelaide River, Coomalie Creek, Margaret River and Marrakai Creek, before discharging into its mouth in Adam Bay in the Timor Sea. The river descends {{convert|151|m}} over its {{convert|238|km|adj=on}} course.[1] The catchment area of the river is {{convert|7640|km2|sqmi|0}}.[2] The Adelaide River is crossed by both the Stuart Highway adjacent to the township of Adelaide River and the Arnhem Highway near Humpty Doo. The Adelaide River is well known for its high concentration of saltwater crocodiles, along with other wildlife including white-bellied sea eagles, whistling kites, freshwater crocodiles, bull sharks and Black Flying-fox. Its lower reaches form part of the Adelaide and Mary River Floodplains Important Bird Area. Waters of this river are also home to endangered speartooth shark and critically endangered largetooth sawfish. A man named Fitzmaurice, under the command of John Lort Stokes, was the first European to discover the river when he sighted it while on a boating expedition. The expedition was part of the Admiralty surveying ship, 'The Beagle voyage in 1839 and it was named in memory of Queen Adelaide.[3] GallerySee also{{stack|{{portal|Northern Territory|Water|Environment}}}}
