Ward River (Far North Queensland)
The Ward River is a river located in Far North Queensland, Australia.
The headwaters of the river rise on the Cape York Peninsula approximately from the west coast and flows south through uninhabited country along the coastal plain and eventually discharges into Archer Bay, along with the Archer and Watson River, just north of Aurukun and then onto the Gulf of Carpentaria. Four tributaries contribute to the Ward; Coconut Creek, Tappelbang Creek, Sandy Creek and Possum Creek.
The river is located within the Watson River catchment and in 2009 the river was considered for nomination as a wild river.
