==Course and features==
The Queensland branch of the Severn River rises on the western slopes of the [[Great Dividing Range]] south of {{QLDcity|Stanthorpe}}. The river flows generally south by west, through the [[Sundown National Park]], and forms its [[confluence]] with the [[Dumaresq River]] near the Tenterfield Creek and Glenlyon Dam Road, east of the settlement of Riverside. The point where the rivers form their confluence marks part of the border between Queensland and [[New South Wales]]. The Dumaresq flows into the Macintyre River. The Queensland branch of the Severn River is often noted as the ultimate source of the [[Darling River]].{{citation needed|date=December 2015}} The Severn River descends {{convert|409|m}} over its {{convert|90|km|adj=on}} [[watercourse|course]].<ref name=bonzle/>
