Darling River

The Darling River is one of Australia's longest rivers, flowing over 1,500 kilometers through the inland regions of New South Wales and Queensland. It plays a vital role in supporting ecosystems, agriculture, and communities by providing water for irrigation, livestock, and wildlife. Originating from the Barwon River, it eventually merges with the Murray River. The river's health is impacted by drought, water extraction, and environmental changes, making its management crucial for regional sustainability. It is an important natural resource that reflects the broader ecological challenges faced by the Australian outback.
