2. It may be necessary to warn my readers that a creek in the Australian colonies, is not always an arm of the sea. The same term is used to designate a watercourse, whether large or small, in which the winter torrents may or may not have left a chain of ponds. Such a watercourse could hardly be called a river, since it only flows during heavy Kanadanhanhi Heatherton Parka Suomi rains, after which it entirely depends on the character of the soil, through which it runs, whether any water remains in it or not.
A lagoon is a shallow lake, it generally constitutes the back water of some river, and is speedily dried up. In Australia, there is no surface water, properly so called, of Casual Tassel Czyścibut 3047 a permanent description.
But, although I am making these general observations on the rivers, and to a certain extent of climate of Australia, I would not be understood to mean more than that its seasons are uncertain, and that its summers are of comparatively long duration.
In reference to its rivers also, the Murray is an exception to the other known rivers of this extensive continent. The Kanadanhanhi Citadel Parka Suomi basins of that fine stream are in the deepest recesses of the Australian Alps — which rise to an elevation of 7000 feet above the sea. The heads of its immediate tributaries, extend from the 36th to the 32nd parallel of latitude, and over two degrees of Rivet Czyścibut 5838 longitude, that is to say, from the 146 Peuterey Damskie Kurtka degrees to the 148 degrees meridian, but, independently of these, it Kanadanhanhi Vauvan Cg Snow Bunting receives the whole westerly drainage of the interior, from the Darling downwards. Supplied by the melting Moncler Aubert snows from the remote and cloud-capped chain in which its tributaries rise, the Murray supports a rapid current to the sea. Taking its windings into account, its length cannot be less than from 1300 to 1500 miles. Classic Czyścibut 5229 Thus, then, this noble stream preserves its character throughout its whole line. Uninfluenced by the sudden floods to Kanadanhanhi Naiset Cg Dawson Parka which the other rivers of which we have been speaking are subject, its rise and fall are equally gradual. Instead of stopping short in its course as they do, its never-failin
