The river flows through the towns of Killarney and Warwick, while the tributary Gowrie Creek drains the slopes around Toowoomba . At Surat the Condamine turns to the south - west and becomes known as the Balonne River . The Condamine descends 516 metres (1,693 ft) over its 657 - kilometre (408 mi) course, with a catchment area of 13,292 square kilometres (5,132 sq mi).
