	Encyclopedia: New South Wales Rivers
		The principal topographic feature of New South Wales is the series of low highlands and plateaus called the Great Dividing Range which extend from north to south roughly parallel to the coast of the Tasman Sea.
		The two main categories of rivers in New South Wales, are those which rise in the Great Dividing Range and flow directly eastwards to the sea, and those which rise on the other side of the crest of the range and flow westward towards the desert.
		The second group of inland-flowing rivers in New South Wales are those which rise in the southern part of the State and combine directly with the Murray River which forms the southern border of New South Wales with Victoria.

	MM17 Feature - Mapping the Border
		New South Wales border snakes through the Great Dividing Range, 'a succession of straight lines of as great a length as practicable, without altogether departing from the watershed summit of the Range'.
		In 1862, the colonial secretary in New South Wales wrote to his counterpart in Queensland to initiate a joint survey of the boundary line of the two colonies, from Point Danger westerly to the Dumaresq River, in accordance with the letters patent.
		Preliminary work was undertaken by Mr W J Conder, superintendent of the trigonometrical survey in New South Wales, who observed the latitude of Barringun, a border township on the Warrego River, with a zenith telescope, having a 2 inch objective glass and 30 inch focal length.

		Historians assess his influence on the transition of New South Wales from a penal colony to a free settlement as being crucial to the shaping of Australian society.
		Lachlan Macquarie was born in the Isle of Mull in the Hebrides islands of Scotland.
		All these actions reflected his view that New South Wales, despite its origins as a penal settlement, was now to be seen as a part of the British Empire, where a free people would live and prosper and eventually govern themselves.

	THE FLOOD THREAT IN NEW SOUTH WALES (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-03)
		Heavy rainfalls which cause the banks of rivers and creeks to be overtopped, result in overflows from lakes, detention basins and stormwater drains, cause local overland flooding (including sheet flows across land), or result in releases from gated dams or spills from non-gated ones.
		Tropical Cyclones moving south from the Coral Sea and the Gulf of Carpentaria periodically reach New South Wales in decayed form as rain depressions, causing flooding in northern inland areas and along the coast as far south as Sydney.
		This was the case in February 1954 on the Tweed, Richmond and Clarence rivers when an ex-tropical cyclone crossed the coast, and again on the same rivers in March 1974 as a result of heavy rains brought by a rain depression which had originated as Tropical Cyclone Zoe.

		On the banks of the Darling River almost 800km north-west of Sydney, the once thriving river port of Bourke was the highest town on the Darling from which barges filled with cargos of wool could be shipped downstream.
		Although surrounded by dry plains the town is surprisingly green owing to the irrigation for citrus orchards and cotton crops.
		The river was a natural fishery for the Aboriginal people and their fish traps, consisting of a complex pattern of partly submerged stone boulders, can still be seen.

	Walkabout - Collarenabri
		Located 792 km northwest of Sydney and 145 km west of Moree, Collarenabri is a tiny township on the banks of Barwon River which has become a favourite haunt for fishermen who come to catch cod, yellow belly and catfish in the river.
		A cargo steamer, looking for suitable loading places for wool, reached the town in 1879 but the water level in the Barwon river was too unreliable for the town to grow as a port.
		The local Aboriginal reserve was gazetted in 1899 and since that date the Aborigines have buried their dead in a special cemetery which now has well over 100 graves, some with crosses and others decorated with shells and ornaments.

		The bridge could be raised and lowered to allow the steamers which plied the river to pass underneath its road span.
		The fisheries are pieces of masterful ingenuity designed to trap the fish and to be sealed off so that the fishermen can catch and kill the fish at their leisure.

		This means that further cutbacks are needed to contain what is considered a healthy river flow and landholders along the river could be expected to reduce future water use by up to 40% while those who haven't developed their water use could face even further restrictions.
