The Ringarooma River is a perennial river located in the north-east region of Tasmania, Australia.

Location and features[]

The Ringarooma River rises below Mount Maurice and flows generally east by north, joined by ten tributaries including the Maurice River (Tasmania), , Cascade, , and rivers. In the lower reaches of the river, the topography comprises a floodplain and forms part of the Ramsar Lower Ringarooma River wetland.[2] The river reaches its mouth and empties into the Tasman Sea at the Ringarooma Bay. The river descends 1,020 metres (3,350 ft) over its 124-kilometre (77 mi) course.[1]

The Tasman Highway crosses the river on multiple occasions as part of its course.[1]
