Les chutes de Rauros, sur l'Anduin, à la frontière nord du Gondor, étaient au 3eme âge, les plus spectaculaire chute d'eau de la Terre du Milieu.

 THE TOLKIEN FORUM - View Single Post - Boromir's route home
I believe the decision of which direction to go had to be made at the Falls of Rauros simply because of the geography of the land.
They could not have simply decided to walk down the side of the river until they got to a navigatable part of it because on one side of the river was Wetwang and on the other side were the numerous tributaries of the Entwash.
So, the decision had to be made at Rauros, or else many, many days would have been wasted attempting to navigate a swampy river or trying to go by foot around the Wetwang or the Entwash tributaries

 Mistress Marilyn's LOTR Fic: 'Boromir's Elves' -- Part Three: 'His Coming'   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-29)
The Elves of Rauros were descendents of the Nandor who had taken to the woods and settled near Lorien.
At the beginning of the Third Age, several dozen of these sylvan elves had broken off and founded a colony of their own, which became a sort of elven cult later spoken of in whispers as the Worshippers of Man or Man-Loving Elves.
The Elves of Rauros would prove themselves worthy of this man, and soon he would gift them with his seed and increase their number.

 [minstrels] Lament for Boromir -- J. R. R. Tolkien
The Tower of Gaurd shall ever northward gaze To Rauros, golden Rauros-falls, until the end of days.' -- J.
The above poem is a good example of his work: the language is unstrained and natural, the metre and rhyme is never anything less than perfect, the images (especially the striking descriptions of whole landscapes in a few short words) are haunting...
The poem also has a wonderful unity of structure and composition - the apostrophes to (in turn) the three winds and their respective answers form a natural progression, culminating in the last couplet; the repetition of the phrase 'Rauros, golden Rauros-falls' adds to the poignancy of the lament.

Although the Elves of Rauros were wont to wear little most of the time, when the weather turned cool and they were forced to traverse outside the cave for food and drink, they needed warm clothing.
Naegion wanted the Elves of Rauros to learn to live without a king, to produce for themselves and protect what was theirs, like other elves did.
He had never learned the artifice of guarding his emotions, which was one of the reasons his bid to be leader of the Elves of Rauros had failed.

 THE TOLKIEN FORUM - Boromir's route home
Perhaps the lands further down Anduin were too populous, and the Fellowship, whose main strength lay in secrecy, would be up for observation by both friendly and unfriendly eyes.
For starters, if it isn't clear which direction Gandalf intended to take after Rauros (assuming that he too had that place in mind as a point the Fellowship would visit on their journey), it certainly isn't clear which route Aragorn had in mind, had things turned out differently.
We know that he was resolved to go directly to Mordor--if that was the route Frodo wished to take--but we never get to find out if he had any clear idea about the best way to get there.
