The Mackenzie River is a seasonal tributary (or sub-river) of the Fitzroy River in Queensland, Australia. It is created by the intersection of the Comet and Nogoa rivers flowing into the Expedition Ranges in eastern Queensland. It was discovered in 1844 by Ludwig Leichhardt, a German explorer who explored many parts of Queensland and the Northern Territory.[1]
