The Yilgarn River originates from Lake Seabrook and Lake Deborah, north-east of Southern Cross. The Lockhart River originates at Lake Magenta, south of
Newdegate. After the confluence (junction) of these two rivers (at Caroline Gap, just south of Kellerberrin - top right on the map) it becomes the Salt River,
which in turn enters a chain of lakes (the Yenyening Lakes). These enter the Avon River north of Boyagarra Pool, at the Qualandary Crossing, east of Beverley.
The catchment flowing into the Avon at this point is 91,000 square kilometres.
