The Ducie River is a river located on the Cape York Peninsula in Far North Queensland, Australia.
Formed by the confluence of the Palm Creek and South Palm Creek, the headwaters of the Ducie River drain the Richardson Range, part of the Great Dividing Range. The river flows generally west through stringybark woodlands, tropical savanna plains and wetlands. It enters the Gulf of Carpentaria on the western side of the Cape York Peninsula at Port Musgrave just north of Mapoon. The river descends 31 metres (102 ft) over its 69-kilometre (43 mi) course.[2]
The catchment covers 6,746 square kilometres (2,605 sq mi);[3] there are no major towns or water storage facilities in the watershed.
Much of the river is bordered by gallery rainforest. In its lower reaches it supports an extensive tidal mangrove forest with stands of Nipa Palms.[4]
