The headwaters of the river rise below Poonjurra Hill and flows in a northerly direction almost parallel with the Kalumburu Road and eventually discharges into Deep Bay then Napier Broome Bay and finally the Indian Ocean. The river has seven tributaries including; Carson River, Drum Creek, Noolawayoo Creek, Coondillah Creek and Hair Creek. The river contains several permanent pools, where examples of Indigenous Australian art known as Bradshaw paintings can be found along the cliff faces.[3] The river was named in 1901 by the surveyor Frederick Brockman while on expedition in the area. The river is named after King Edward VII, the reigning monarch at the time.[4] The traditional owners of the areas around the river are the Miwa, Wunambal and Kambure peoples.[5] References1. ^{{cite web|url=http://maps.bonzle.com/c/a?a=p&cmd=sp&zix=r&p=211313&st=&s=King%20Edward%20river&pg=1&m=0&c=1&x=127%2E49939&y=%2D16%2E63161&w=190687&mpsec=0|title= Bonzle Digital Atlas – Map of King Edward River|year= 2009|accessdate= 10 July 2016}} {{coord|14|14|3|S|126|35|58|E|type:river_region:AU-WA|display=title}}{{Rivers of Western Australia}}2. ^{{cite web|url=http://www.anra.gov.au/topics/economics/costs-returns/wa/basin-king-edward-river.html |title=Australian Natural Resources Atlas – Economics – King Edward River |year= 2009 |accessdate= 3 March 2009 |deadurl=yes |archiveurl=https://web.archive.org/web/20080808122816/http://www.anra.gov.au/topics/economics/costs-returns/wa/basin-king-edward-river.html |archivedate= 8 August 2008 |df= }} 3. ^{{cite web|url=http://www.bradshawfoundation.com/bradshaws/kimberley1.php|title=Bradshaw Foundation – Rock Art Archives |year=2010|accessdate=2 July 2011}} 4. ^{{LandInfo WA|r|K|7 September 2011}} 5. ^{{cite web|url=http://www.ausanthrop.net/resources/ausanthrop_db/detail.php?id_search=199 |title=AusAnthrop Australian Aboriginal tribal database |year=2012 |accessdate=6 May 2012 |deadurl=yes |archiveurl=https://web.archive.org/web/20150927024354/http://www.ausanthrop.net/resources/ausanthrop_db/detail.php?id_search=199 |archivedate=27 September 2015 |df= }} 2 : Rivers of Western Australia|Kimberley (Western Australia) |
