The river rises from the Tadrida Scarp and flows in a north-easterly direction through the Drysdale River National Park and the Oombulgarri Indigenous Reserve before discharging into the Timor Sea. The river has two tributaries, the De Lancourt River and Casuarina Creek. The traditional owners of the areas around the river are the Miwa people.[5] The river was named in 1911 by the explorer Charles Price Conigrave, the first European to discover the river. He named the river after his brother Berkeley Fairfax Conigrave.[6] It is regularly visited by Ocean Dream Charters while on Kimberley coastal cruises.
