The Murchison River is the second longest river in Western Australia. It flows for about 820 km (510 mi) [1] from the southern edge of the Robinson Ranges to the Indian Ocean at Kalbarri. The Murchison-Yalgar-Hope river system is the longest river system in Western Australia.
Its tributaries include five of the next six longest rivers of Australia (the Murrumbidgee, Darling, Lachlan, Warrego and Paroo Rivers). Together with that of the Murray, the catchments of these rivers form the Murray–Darling basin, which covers about one-seventh the area of Australia. It is widely considered Australia's most important ...

It can be thought of as a list of the biggest rivers on Earth, measured by a specific metric. For context, the volume of an Olympic-size swimming pool is 2,500 m 3 (88,000 cu ft). The average flow rate at the mouth of the Amazon is sufficient to fill more than 83 such pools each second.
Flowing from the north-east, the South Esk, the state's longest river, joins the North Esk at Launceston to create the Tamar. Compared to the rest of Australia, [2] Tasmania has a very high proportion of wild or undisturbed rivers. [3] [4]
