The headwaters of the river rise at Tom Price in the Hamersley Range and flow in a westerly direction. The river travels almost parallel with the Nanutarra-Wittenoom Road until it discharges into the Ashburton River near Hardey Junction. The Hardey River has two tributaries; the Beasley River and Hope Creek. The river was named in 1861 during an expedition by explorer Francis Gregory, after Swan River colonist John Wall Hardey, who was a family friend. Gregory had previously named the nearby Mount Wall after Hardey.[3] References1. ^{{LandInfo WA|r|H|6 September 2011}} {{coord|22|43|59|S|116|7|7|E|type:river_region:AU-WA|display=title}}{{Rivers of Western Australia}}{{WesternAustralia-river-stub}}2. ^{{cite web|url=http://maps.bonzle.com/c/a?a=p&cmd=sp&p=210248&st=&s=Hardey%20River|title= Bonzle Digital Atlas – Map of Hardey River|year= 2009|accessdate= 10 July 2016}} 3. ^{{cite news | title = Western Australian Names - Their Dates and Origin - Interesting Historical Facts | date = 8 July 1928 | url = http://nla.gov.au/nla.news-article58358209 | work = The Sunday Times (Western Australia)| page = 32 | accessdate = 28 August 2012}} 2 : Rivers of Western Australia|Pilbara |
