Best Answer

There is no such river as the Murray-Darling River. The Murray and Darling Rivers are two separate and distinct rivers. Together with their many tributaries, they make up the Murray-Darling River system or basin, which is a vast area of tributaries of both rivers, covering a huge portion of the Australian continent.

The Murray Darling Basin covers 1 061 469 square kilometres, which is about 14% of the Australian continent. It is unknown just how much water this massive system holds, but the total length of the rivers and their tributaries, according to Geoscience Australia, is 6695km, just over half the length of the Nile River.
