The river descends 36 metres (118 ft) over its 3-kilometre (1.9 mi) course.[2]
The west branch of the river rises near the locality of Bellbird Creek at the junction of the Princes Highway and Sydneham Inlet Road, with a southerly course of 12 kilometres (7.5 mi);[3] while the east branch of the river rises west of the Sydneham Inlet Road, with a south westerly course of 11 kilometres (6.8 mi).[4]
