The Mackenzie River is a seasonal tributary (or sub-river) of the Fitzroy River in Queensland, Australia. It is created by the intersection of the Comet and Nogoa rivers flowing into the Expedition Ranges in eastern Queensland.[1]
It was discovered in 1844 by Ludwig Leichhardt, a German explorer who explored many parts of Queensland and the Northern Territory.[2]
