The Styx River is a river in the eastern portion of Central Queensland, Australia.
The river rises in the Connors and Broadsound Range and enters
course.[1]
The Styx River is wide at its mouth, resulting in a tidal bore at certain times. Much of the river valley remains natural leaving the water quality in a healthy state.[3]
