Bulloo River

The Bulloo River is an ephemeral watercourse in Queensland, Australia, meaning it rarely flows continuously. It runs through a remote, semi-arid region and typically only has water after heavy rains, playing a vital role in supporting local ecosystems. The river often remains dry, but during flood events, it can spread across floodplains, creating temporary wetlands that sustain wildlife. Its variable flow regulates the environment, benefiting plants and animals adapted to the seasonal changes, and it contributes to the broader drainage system that eventually leads to larger inland basins.
