To facilitate analysis , the region was divided into three main catchments , “ Bowen at Myuna ” ( 12 ), “ Bogie ” ( 13 ) and the area " Below the Burdekin Falls Dam and Bowen , Bogie ” ( B _ BFD _ BB ), which is shown in white ( Figure 3 ). The main tributaries that supply the “ Bowen at Myuna ”, are the “ Broken River ” ( 3 ), “ Little Bowen River ” ( 6 ), “ Rosella Creek ” ( 9 ) and “ Glenmore ” ( 10,11 ). The contribution of the B _ BFD _ BB , can be calculated by the subtraction of site ’ s 25 , 13 , 12 and 15 , including minor contributions from 22 , 18 and 16 .
