The McRae River is a river in the Kimberley region of Western Australia.
The river rises in the Whately Range and flows in a northerly direction through the Prince Regent National Park until it discharges into the Glenelg River.
It was first located on 14 May 1865 by a party led by government Assistant Surveyor James Cowle, during an exploration expedition from
Melbourne to settle the region.[2]
