Corindi River, an open mature wave dominated barrier estuary,[2] is located in the Northern Rivers region of New South Wales, Australia.
Corindi River rises below Knobbys Lookout, in hilly country located to the west of Woolgoolga, and flows generally north northeast, north northwest, east northeast, and northeast, before reaching its mouth with the Coral Sea of the South Pacific Ocean north of Red Rock; descending over its course.[1]
The river is transversed by the Pacific Highway near Corindi Beach.
