	Central Darling Shire Council: About: The Darling River
		River front wool empires grew at a phenomenal speed; some were 2-3 million acres, Shearing millions of sheep, so that by the 1890's the river ports at Bourke, Wilcannia and Wentworth were shipping world record amounts of wool away to Europe.
		Because much of the Darling's course runs through extensive saltbush pastures, receiving an average of less than 250 mm (10 in.) of rain annually, the river often loses more water by evaporation than is gained from its tributaries, many of which sometimes fail to reach the main stream.
		In 1828 the explorer Charles Sturt was dispatched by the Governor of New South Wales, Sir Ralph Darling, to investigate the lower course of the Macquarie River.

		plant found most often along the river is the willow, which protects the banks of the river from erosion but also tends to spread out in the soil and take over the surrounding area, choking the growth of other plants.

		The use of the rivers for transportation made a major contribution to the settlement of the Basin and the development of the pastoral industry, especially from the 1850s.

		The River Murray flows from its head waters in the Great Dividing Range of Eastern Australia to the mouth at Goolwa on the South coast of South Australia.
