Course and features

The Styx River starts below Point Lookout in the Great Dividing Range along the eastern escarpment of the Northern Tablelands, south southeast of Ebor, and flows generally southwest, joined by two minor tributaries before reaching its confluence with the Chandler River, south southwest of Jeogla. The river descends 1,120 metres (3,670 ft) over its 60 kilometres (37 mi) course; [1] rapidly descending into a deep gorge where it meets the Chandler River. [2]
