Answer 3

The main river in Australia is the Murray River. It is not called the Murray-Darling River, but the Murray River and the Darling River do make up the Murray-Darling system.

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.

The Darling River is a tributary of the Murray. It has its source near the north western NSW town of Brewarinna (not counting the rivers to the north which feed its headwaters).

The source of the Murray River is in Australia's Alpine region to the east. It begins east of the home of the "Man from Snowy River", Corryong, up in the Snowy Mountains, about 30 Km south of Tom Groggin, and 15 kms east of Cobberas.

The Murray-Darling system is made up of these two distinct rivers and their tributaries. It is located in the south-east of Australia. It covers 1 061 469 square kilometres, which is about 14% of the Australian continent. 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 system, which makes up 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.
