ONE RIVER SYSTEM.
Australian Continent Is Unique In
This Respect.

hii'o sNSofSSes
Geographic Magazine: There are in
Australia no Colorados or Columbias
or Tennessees, trenching plateaus
and crossing mountain chains, and
no counterpart of the thousands of
springfield brooks and streams issu-
ing from lakes widely scattered over
the country. The large area in Utah
and Nevada from which dwindling
streams never escape to the sea is
represented in Australia by an enor-
nous expanse Of territory, compris-
ing fully half of Australian CONT
nent.
The heart of the United States is
a well-watered land of fields and
woods and cities; the corresponding
part Of Australia is dry and barren
and thinly populated. The Murray
Darling is the one great river system
Of Australia. It drains five-sixths Of
New South Wales, more than one
half of Victoria, and nearly one-sev-
enth of the entire Australia CONT
nent.
Because of it's unfavorable outlet,
its small volume, its snags and sand
bars and great sinuosities, navigation
of the Murray is limited to small
light draft steamers towing one or
two barges. Regular traffic in grain
and wool is maintained during seven
months Of the year from the mouth
Of the river to Wentworth. 500 miles,
