 Darling River - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The whole Murray-Darling river system, one of the largest in the world, drains all of New South Wales west of the Great Dividing Range, much of northern Victoria and southern Queensland and parts of South Australia.
In 1828 the explorer Charles Sturt was sent by the Governor of New South Wales, Sir Ralph Darling, to investigate the course of the Macquarie River.
And this is the dirge of the Darling River.

The Bogan, being naturally hairy required no clothing at all, its habitat was mainly caves but some bogans actually dug burrows to live in and feed their young, similar to wombats in many ways.
The bogans have now moved on from their primitive lifestyle, lying dormant and hibernating for millions of years until the late 1970's and early 1980's when they re-appeared all over the world.
Some bogans managed to survive the cold and resisted poachers and this is how they were revived in the 1970's as well as a massive breeding program which began in the late 1950's to recover the endangered species.

The flat pebblesnail was historically known from the mainstem Coosa River in Shelby and Talladega counties, the Cahaba River in Bibb and Dallas counties, and Little Cahaba River in Bibb County, Alabama (Thompson 1984).
It was historically known from the Coosa River and tributaries from the northeastern corner of St. Clair County, Alabama, downstream into the mainstem of the Alabama River to Claiborne, Monroe County, Alabama, and the Cahaba River below the Fall Line in Perry and Dallas counties, Alabama (Goodrich 1922, Burch 1989).
However, because stream and river habitats change rapidly in response to watershed land use, and it is difficult to project watershed conditions and stream habitat values into the future, the Service is working through a dynamic process with State and other Federal agencies and private parties.

 Crystal River, Colorado   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-22)
It features cascading waterfalls entering the river along the banks, and is the scene of more than one hazard resulting from downed trees that may partially or completely obstruct the river channel (look for warning signs displayed on trees along the banks or hanging from bridge overpasses) and pose risks to paddlers, boats and gear.
Neoprene gloves and hard-soled river boots should also be worn for added protection against cold, as well as hand and foot injuries in or near the river.
Typically, this section of the Crystal River runs best from May through July, though the season may be extended or reduced according to the depth of the snowpack and/or recent local rains.

 Journal of an Expedition into the Interior of Tropical Australia, by Thomas Mitchell
The Bogan is particularly within their reach, and when wet seasons do occur the cattle of squatters must be very much at the mercy of the savages.
The general course of the Bogan changes at Mudà from N.W. to north, the former being nearly in the direction of the general declination of the country, the latter rather across it, of which the overflowings of the parallel river Macquarie into Duck Creek, and other channels to the westward, seemed to afford sufficient proofs.
The river Castlereagh is known to the natives as the Barr; Morissett's Ponds, as the Wàwill; and the lower part of the Macquarie, as the Wammerawà.

After excursions in several directions, on 1 January 1829 the party reached what was later named the Bogan River and on 2 February arrived at a large stream to which Sturt gave the name Darling River.
Hume and Hovell, of course, had already named this river the Hume, but Sturt considered his discovery to be a new river to which the Hume, Ovens and Goulburn all contributed.
On 25 May the junction of the Darling and Bogan rivers was reached, and to Mitchell's delight the country was found to be well grassed.

Various rivers were known to arise on that side of the Coast Range; the streams from Liverpool plains flowing northward; the Peel, the Gwydir, and the Dumaresq, arising in the Coast Range, and falling, as had been represented, to the north-westward.
This river was the channel of the united waters of the Peel, Muluerindie and Conadilly.

The two species are allopatric (the compact elimia occurs in the Cahaba River, whereas the lacy elimia was found in the Coosa River and tributaries), and are strikingly different in size, appearance, and behavior.
The round rocksnail is currently known from a shoal series in the Cahaba River, Bibb and Shelby counties, Alabama, and from the lower reach of the Little Cahaba River, and the lower reaches of Shade and Six-mile creeks in Bibb County, Alabama (Bogan and Pierson 1993b).
On the Alabama River there are 3 dams (built between 1968-1971); the Black Warrior has 5 (1915-1959); the Coosa 10 (1914-1966), and the Tombigbee 12 (1954-1979).

On a later expedition, Sturt followed the Murrumbidgee River down to its junction with "a broad and noble river" which he named the Murray.
