The name of the river derives from two bearded stockmen, William Chandler and John Duval, who were among the first European settlers of the district through which the river flows.[2] The river was previously known as Maybole Creek, The Beardy Water, Beardy River and The Beardy Waters.[1]
Courseedit
Beardy Waters rises below the Waterloo Range and Great Dividing Range, and flows generally north-east then north, before reaching its confluence with the Severn River, north of Glen Innes; descending 317 metres (1,040 ft) over its 76 kilometres (47 mi) course.[3]
A weir construction across the Beardy Waters was commenced in October 1930 after a grant of £5,500 was made available for the work. This money was granted to pay men working on unemployment relief. Completed in July 1932 at a cost of £10,847 it has a capacity of 100 million imperial gallons (450,000 m3) with the flood gates closed.[2]
