Tributaries

Major tributaries of the Burnett River include:

• Three Moon Creek: Rises near Kroombit Tops National Park north of Monto. Flows south through Monto and Mulgildie before emptying into the Burnett River south-east of Abercorn. Part of the creek is dammed near Cania Gorge to form Lake Cania.
• Nogo River: Rises in the hills north-west of Monto. Flows south-east to join the Burnett near Ceradotus. Part of the Nogo River is dammed west of Abercorn to form Wuruma Lake, a popular fishing spot.
• Auburn River: Rises in the hills about 20km west of Cracow. Flows south before swinging to the north-east at its confluence with Johnson Creek. Passes through Auburn River National Park, a little known and untouched piece of pristine bush including Auburn Waterfall. Flows into the Burnett River west of Mundubbera.
• Boyne River: Rises in the Bunya Mountains National Park south-west of Kingaroy. Flows in a general northerly direction, emptying into the Burnett River near Mundubbera (and only 5km from the Burnett River-Auburn River confluence). Part of the Boyne River is dammed near Proston to form Lake Boondooma (which suplies water for the Tarong Power Station near Kingaroy). Note another Boyne River, not part of the Burnett system, is located near Gladstone.
• Barambah Creek: Rises in the hills between Kingaroy and the Sunshine Coast, north of Jimna. Flows in a general northerly direction before meeting the Burnett River north-east of Gayndah. Part of Barambah Creek is dammed south of Murgon to from Lake Barambah, also known as Bjelke-Petersen Dam, named after former Premier Joh Bjelke-Petersen.
