Australias Largest River System

A Little background education first before the fun stuff :)

WHAT IS THE MURRAY-DARLING BASIN?

The Murray–Darling Basin is Australia’s largest river system, and one of the biggest systems in the world. It covers over a million square kilometres of land in south-eastern Australia, collecting the water draining west of the Great Dividing Range.
Much like a huge bowl, the Basin collects water that flows inland to the west across flat floodplains, forming rivers, creeks and wetlands as it goes. Passing through five states and territories — Queensland, New South Wales, Australian Capital Territory, Victoria and South Australia — its water eventually flows out to sea at Goolwa in South Australia.
Although the two longest rivers in the Basin are the Darling and Murray rivers, the system includes 23 major rivers in all.
Throughout the Basin there is great variation in climatic conditions and landscapes. From the warm, sub-tropical environment in the north, the Basin ranges through cooler, humid highlands to the east; cold alpine country further south; temperate regions in the south-east, and hot, arid plains in the west before reaching the sea.
