The first fact is that there is no such river as the Murray-Darling.

The Murray and Darling Rivers are two separate rivers with their sources thousands of kilometres apart. The Darling River is a tributary of the Murray. It has its source near the north western NSW town of Brewarinna (not counting the rivers to the north which feed its headwaters). The source of the Murray River is in Australia's Alpine region to the east. It begins east of the home of the "Man from Snowy River", Corryong, up in the Snowy Mountains, about 30 Km south of Tom Groggin, and 15 kms east of Cobberas.

Together, they make up the Murray-Darling river system, and the Murray-Darling basin, which encompasses a huge percentage of southern Australia.

The Darling River flows into the Murray at Wentworth. The Murray then continues on to its mouth, near Goolwa at Encounter Bay in South Australia.
