The river is a short coastal stream of around 10 km length just to the north of Geraldton, in the Drummond Cove and Oakajee areas. The headwaters of the river are {{convert|25|km|mi|0}} north of Geraldton. The Buller flows in a southerly direction, initially following the east side of the North West Coastal Highway to a point {{convert|4|km|mi|0}} north of Drummond Cove, where it turns to the west, to discharge into the Indian Ocean. HistoryThe Buller River was named on 7 April 1839 by the explorer George Grey while on his second disastrous expedition along the Western Australian coast,[3] probably after Charles Buller M.P., an associate of Edward Gibbon Wakefield and Grey's friend William Hutt (brother of the 2nd Governor of Western Australia, John Hutt), and an active parliamentary proponent of the free colonization of South Australia, Western Australia and New Zealand.[4][5][6] References1. ^{{cite web | url = http://kumina.water.wa.gov.au/waterinformation/wrdata/FLOW/701006/han.htm | title = Site Summary Report: Site 701006 Buller River | accessdate = 20 July 2012 | date = 20 Jul 2012 | work = Water Resources Data - Streamflow Sites | publisher = Government of Western Australia Department of Water}} {{coord|28|38|11|S|114|36|18|E|type:river_region:AU-WA|display=title}}{{Rivers of Western Australia}}{{WesternAustralia-river-stub}}2. ^{{cite web | url = http://kumina.water.wa.gov.au/waterinformation/wrdata/FLOW/701006/ssm.htm | title = Total Annual Discharge report: Site 701006 Buller River | accessdate = 20 July 2012 | date = 20 Jul 2012 | work = Water Resources Data - Streamflow Sites | publisher = Government of Western Australia Department of Water}} 3. ^{{cite book | last1 = Grey | first1 = George | title = Journals of two expeditions of discovery in North-West and Western Australia, during the years 1837, 38, and 39, describing many newly discovered, important, and fertile districts, with observations on the moral and physical condition of the aboriginal inhabitants, etc. etc. | volume = 2 | publisher = T. and W.
