Australia is surrounded by several significant bodies of water, including the Indian Ocean to the west and the south, the Southern Ocean to the south, and the Pacific Ocean to the east. Major rivers within Australia include the Murray River, which is the longest river in the country, and the Darling River, which flows into the Murray.
