The Wooramel River is an ephemeral river[2] in the Gascoyne region of Western Australia.
The river rises near McLeod Pyramid and flows in a westerly direction, joined by six
course.[1]
The river has a non-pristine estuary that has been mostly unmodified.
The estuary contains the seagrass Ruppia megacarpa and is naturally open to the ocean for two to six weeks per year, usually following a wet winter or a cyclonic event.[3]
