The Adcock River is a river in the Kimberley of Western Australia. The headwaters of the river rise in the Philips Range near Qodesh then flow in a south-easterly direction parallel with the King Leopold Range and past Mount House, Mount Clifton and Mount Hamilton before merging with the Fitzroy River near Fitzroy Bluff. The Adcock has three tributaries; Throssel River, Annie Creek and Walsh Creek. The first European to discover the river was Frank Hann in 1898, who named the river after Charles and William Adcock of Derby: Hann explained, "Messrs Adcock Bros of Derby were very kind to me and provided exceedingly reasonable in the important matter of a supply of rations." The traditional owners of the areas around the river are the ''Nyikina'' peoples.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Ausanthrop - Australian Aboriginal tribal database )〕 Fish such as Greenway's grunter, the Flathead Goby and the False spotted gudgeon have been found within the river system.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=National River Trust - Inland fish fauna of the Fitzroy river )〕 ==References== 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Adcock River」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
