Course and features
The rivers rises south west of Dalby, near Braemar State Forest, south-east of Tara in Queensland, and flows generally to the south-west, joined by thirteen minor tributaries, before reaching its confluence with the Barwon River, near the village of Mogi Mogi in New South Wales; descending 198 metres (650 ft) over its 542-kilometre (337 mi) course. The catchment area has no major towns and is extremely flat. The Moonie River is impounded by Thallon Weir, with a capacity of 185 megalitres (6.5×106 cu ft).
The river flows through the towns of the Nindigully, Flinton and just to the west of Thallon. Both the Moonie Highway and Carnarvon Highway cross the river.
