Talk:Cooper Creek

Time taken

I removed the following text from the article, as although I believe it, I can't find a reference to support it:

It takes almost a year for water to reach Lake Eyre from the headwaters.

References all talk about what happens when the water does flow into Lake Eyre, not what happens when it does not. --Scott Davis ^Talk 14:11, 5 October 2005 (UTC)

I found a souce at http://www.lakeeyrebasin.org.au/archive/pages/page14.html that says 9-10 months.Kmusser 18:57, 28 April 2006 (UTC)

Murrray-darling inland?

The article says "At 1300 km in length it is the second longest inland river system in Australia after the Murray-Darling system." Can this be right? The Murray makes it to the sea, at least some of the time. Maproom (talk) 22:42, 4 January 2010 (UTC)

Your right it doesn't sound correct. I will double check the source as soon as I can. - Shiftchange (talk) 23:27, 4 January 2010 (UTC)

I finally got my hands on the book to check the quote. On page 93 in relation to Charles Sturt reaching the point where the Strzelecki Creek diverges from Cooper Creek it is written that "Without knowing it he had reached Australia's second-largest inland river system after the Murray." I think the key term is "inland river system" but atm I am not sure exactly what that means. - Shiftchange (talk) 01:50, 25 April 2010 (UTC)
