  • 4.3 Summary Descriptions of Each Drainage Division
    4.3 Summary Descriptions of Each Drainage Division The Lake Eyre Drainage Division The portion of the arid NT in Lake Eyre Drainage Division is characterised by large rivers that in the past all flowed to Lake Eyre. Currently only the Georgina River in the north-east carries water that regularly reaches Lake Eyre; although, the Sandover River system occasionally connects to the Georgina system via the Sandover floodout. There are several other rivers that run essentially south-south-east from their sources, towards Lake Eyre, but apart from the Finke and the Field rivers, most of these floodout entirely in the NT. Finke River Basin The Finke River has the longest path within the NT of any NT River. It is reputed to be the oldest river in the world (Kotwicki 1989), and although this is difficult to substantiate, the upper portion has followed predominantly the same path for millions of years. It extends from the MacDonnell Ranges into South Australia, with two major tributaries also emanating from the ranges: the Palmer and Hugh rivers. Other large tributaries join the Finke, Palmer and Hugh rivers within the greater MacDonnell Ranges area, including Ellery Creek, Petermann Creek, Walker Creek and Areyonga/Illara Creek. Karinga Creek also connects to the Finke River. Similarly, it is probable that Kalamurta Creek connects by surface flow to the Karinga creek, although no connecting channel is mapped on the 1:250k scale topographic maps. Two other significant tributaries, join the Finke in its lower reaches: Goyder Creek and Coglin Creek, both of which rise from hills near the South Australian border, including the Beddome Range.

Of the19 main rivers in this basin, 14 anabranch for large proportions of their length yet with different multi-channel planform styles occurring in different parts of the basin.
