The Murray-Darling river enters the sea through which lake?
The Murray and Darling Rivers are two separate and distinct rivers. The Darling River is a tributary of the Murray, flowing into it at Wentworth in far western New South Wales. The Murray then continues west before making a sudden turn south to enter the Southern Ocean through Lake Alexandrina, in South Australia.
Why was Charles Sturt trying to find the Murray and Darling rivers?
Charles Sturt did not set out to specifically find either the Murray or the Darling River. The purpose of his expedition was to determine where all the westward flowing rivers led.Australia was an usual country, and quite unlike any others, in that its rivers all seemed to flow away from the coast instead of towards the coast, as they do on other continents. Sturt set out to discover where, exactly, these rivers emptied, and whether or not there was an inland sea. While doing so, he discovered first the Darling River, then the Murray River on another expedition shortly afterwards.

Where are the major rivers in Australia into what body of water do they flow?
There is no single body of water into which the rivers flow. Many of the rivers of Australia form part of an inland river system known as the Murray-Darling river system. The Darling is a tributary of the Murray, and the Murray flows into the Southern Ocean (via Lake Alexandrina on the southern coast). Many of the rivers of Queensland's Gulf country flow into a system which feeds Lake Eyre, a huge salt lake in South Australia which fills only once every ten years, at most. There are also many rivers flowing down from the Great Dividing Range which extends along Australia's entire eastern coast. These rivers flow into either the Coral Sea (part of the Pacific ocean) or the Tasman Sea.

When did Charles Sturt explore the Murray Darling basin areas?
After Sturt came to Australia in 1827, he aimed to solve the mystery of where the inland rivers of New South Wales flowed. The rivers appeared to flow towards the centre of the continent, so it was believed that they emptied into an inland sea. Sturt first followed the Macquarie River as far as the Darling, which he named after Governor Darling.Early in 1829, Sturt first followed the Macquarie River as far as the Darling, which he named after Governor Darling.Pleased with what Sturt had discovered, Governor Darling sponsored Sturt's expedition to trace the course of the Murrumbidgee River, and to see whether it joined to the Darling. This was in December 1829- February 1830. On this expedition, Sturt discovered that the Murrumbidgee River flowed into the Murray (previously named the Hume), as did the Darling.

Where is the Murray Darling Basin?
The Murray-Darling Basin is located in the south-east of Australia. It covers 1 061 469 square kilometres, which is about 14% of the Australian continent. Note that the Murray River and Darling River are two separate and distinct rivers. Contrary to popular belief, the Murray-Darling basin is not fed by a single river, but by two major rivers, the Murray and the Darling, and numerous tributaries. The total length of the rivers and their tributaries, according to Geoscience Australia, is 6695km, just over half the length of the Nile River. The Murray-Darling Basin extends 1250 km wide, from the most easterly point at Killarney, near Warwick (in southern Queensland) to north-west of Goolwa (South Australia), the most westerly point.
What most rivers enter?
Another body of water, such as, a lake, the sea or another river.
