There are two Fitzroy Rivers in Australia. The Fitzroy River in the Kimberley region of Western Australia is the longest river in Western Australia. It is around 750 kilometres long. It begins at the King Leopold and Mueller Ranges and flows into King Sound, which is just south of Derby. The Fitzroy River near Rockhampton in Queensland, is the largest river in Australia, apart from the Murray. Together with its minor tributaries, it is 745 kilometres in length, but with all its tributaries, it is 4,880 kilometres in length. Its catchment areas is 145000 square kilometres, which is almost the size of England.

What is a well known river in Queensland?

Fitzroy River. The Fitzroy River lies in Queensland, Australia. Its catchment covers an area of 142,665 square kilometres, making it the largest river catchment flowing to the eastern coast of Australia. The river is formed by the joining of the Mackenzie and Dawson rivers at Duaringa. The catchment stretches from the Carnarvon Ranges in the west to the rivermouth in Keppel Bay, near Rockhampton. It is bounded to the north by the Burdekin River catchment area and to the south by the Burnett River catchment area. The Fitzroy was named by Charles and William Archer on 4 May 1853 in honour of Sir Charles FitzRoy, Governor of the Colony of New South Wales, as Queensland did not become a separate colony until 1859.
