Synopsis "Interesting History of the Murray and Darling Rivers"

"Murray River: a river in southeast Australia, flowing west along between Victoria and New South Wales, through southeast South Australia into the Indian Ocean. 1200 miles (1930 km) long." http: //www.dictionary.com/browse/murray "In 1830 Captain Charles Sturt reached the river after travelling down its tributary the Murrumbidgee River and named it the Murray River in honour of the then British Secretary of State for War and the Colonies, Sir George Murray, not realising it was the same river that Hume and Hovell had encountered further upstream." https: //en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Murray_River Charles Sturt; Two expeditions into the interior of southern Australia: during the years 1828, 1829, 1830, and 1831: with observations on the soil, climate, and general resources of the colony of New South Wales; Vol 2; 2nd edition; Smith, Elder; 1834 Charles Sturt writes: "ARRIVED once more at the junction of the two rivers, and unmolested in our occupations, we had leisure to examine it more closely. Not having as yet given a name to our first discovery, when we re-entered its capacious channel on this occasion, I laid it down as the Murray River, in compliment to the distinguished officer, Sir George Murray, who then presided over the colonial department, not only in compliance with the known wishes of his Excellency General Darling, but also in accordance with my own feelings as a soldier."
