Answer 1:

The Victoria River is published on the Australian Government Geoscience website as the longest, but the Katherine-Daly River figures indicate that this river is longer. These figures would need to be confirmed by more than one official scientific source before a definitive answer is published. This would then answer the question of the second longest river in the NT.

Also, some tributaries of the Victoria river may need to be verified for an accurate answer.

The internationally accepted measurement of a river is the total length from its furthest source to its end. This includes the distance from the source of its longest permanent tributarie/s. This source is therefore, also the river source.

With this in mind, the Victoria river is 510KM (unofficial), and the Katherine River 328Km (unofficial) combining with the Daly 361Km (unofficial) is a single river of 689Km.

Until this is verified by reliable official sources, no correct answer is available at this time.
