List of Darling River distances

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

This is a table of river distances of various locations along the Murray, Darling and Namoi Rivers upstream from Hay, New South Wales.

Note that river distances are by their nature imprecise, will always be greater than straight line distances, and frequently greater than road distances. Note the discrepancy between two independent lists, highlighting the variability of conditions on the meandering river from season to season. The course chosen by the captain depends critically on the vessel's draught, the river's depth, and navigability of anabranches.
