The Bloomfield River is a short, 18-kilometer coastal river in the Wet Tropics of Far North Queensland, flowing from the Great Dividing Range east into Weary Bay and the Coral Sea. It is situated within the Douglas Shire, with its northern bank marking the shire's boundary. The river is noted for its near-pristine estuary conditions and is a significant waterway within the Great Barrier Reef catchment area. A key feature is the Bobby and Jacky Ball Bloomfield River Bridge, which provides a vital crossing point. The river supports a mix of inshore saltwater and estuarine species, and its management is integrated into broader community-driven efforts for sustainable fishing across the region.
