There is no such river as the Murray-Darling. The Murray River and the Darling River are two separate and distinct rivers in Australia. Together, they make up the Murray-Darling system which is made up of numerous tributaries.
Both rivers meander, but the Murray is particularly torturous. When Charles Sturt travelled the Murray in a whaleboat, he took three days to travel the same distance that the Aborigines could walk in a day.
