There are many significant rivers in Australia.
The Murray - Darling system is the major river system in Australia and is the most well-known, but it is not a single river. The Murray and the Darling are two separate rivers.
Other well-known rivers are:
- Flinders River (longest in Queensland), Diamantina River and Cooper Creek which run through western Queensland and ultimately empty into Lake Eyre
- Lachlan River, which flows into the Murrumbidgee River which, in turn, flows into the Murray
- Culgoa, Balonne and Condamine Rivers which feed the Darling
- Gascoyne River, the longest in Western Australia
- Goulburn River (Victoria)
- Hunter River,one that frequently floods in NSW, together with the Clarence and the Richmond
- Dumaresq, Macintyre and Tweed Rivers, which form part of the border between Queensland and NSW
Each of Australia's capital cities is built on a river.
Sydney - Hawkesbury and Parramatta Rivers
- Melbourne - Yarra
- Adelaide - Torrens
- Brisbane - Brisbane
- Perth - Swan
