Dumaresq River
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Dumaresq River forms part of the border between Queensland and New South Wales. The Severn River is its principal tributary and the Dumaresq in turn is a tributary of the MacIntyre River.
The river was named by Allan Cunningham in 1827 after Lt-Colonel Henry Dumaresq, Governor Darling's assistant and his wife's brother.
Yelarbon, Bonshaw and Texas are towns situated on this river. The Bruxner Highway crosses the Dumaresq just south of Texas.
Within the river valley there are vineyards and numerous spots for fishing. Farmers in the valley once supported the tobacco industry with crop.
