Flowerdale River

The Flowerdale River is a river in North West Tasmania, Australia, it extends approximately 55 km from the Campbell Ranges near West Takone before discharging into the Inglis River at Wynyard. The Flowerdale is the largest tributary system on the Inglis River and makes up approximately one-third of the 471 km2 Inglis-Flowerdale catchment basin.

Inglis-Flowerdale catchment area
While not tributaries of the main river system, Sisters Creek and Seabrook Creek are notable minor creeks which form part of the 616 km2 Inglis-Flowerdale catchment area. Annual rainfall ranges from about 1000 mm at the coast to greater than 1600 mm in the upper reaches of the catchment, some 26 km inland from Wynyard.

Forestry plantations dominate the landscape in the western region of the catchment, with intensive agriculture land-use in the north and eastern regions. Because of the steep and confining nature of the topography around the Inglis and Flowerdale rivers, both have retained substantial native forests that tend to buffer the rivers from both land-use activities.
