The Capel River is a river in the South West of Western Australia. The Capel River is the largest in the Geographe catchment and begins at the junction of Capel River North and Capel River South. It rises at the edge of the Darling Scarp near Goodwood and flows in a north-westerly direction parallel with Goodwood across the northern part of the Blackwood plateau and the Swan Coastal plain. The river crosses the Bussell Highway near Capel. An artificial river mouth was cut through the sand dunes adjacent to the Stirling Wetlands in 1880 to allow it to flow directly into Geographe Bay. The Capel river has 6 tributaries; Capel River North, Capel River South, Gynudup Brook, Camp Gully, Layman Gully and Maidenhair Gully. The inaugural 2009 Ranger Outdoors Capel Descent 〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Capel Descent )〕 was held in June 2009 which consisted of a part down river, part open ocean paddle along the Capel River and Geographe Bay. The river was named after Capel Carter Brockman (1839–1924),〔('Brockman, Capel Carter (1839–1924)' ), Obituaries Australia, National Centre of Biography, Australian National University, accessed 7 April 2013.〕 daughter of John Bussell (1803–1875),〔Freda Vines Carmody (1966) ('Bussell, John Garrett (1803–1875)' ), Australian Dictionary of Biography, Volume 1, (MUP)〕 who was named after a Miss Capel Carter, a cousin of the Bussells in England with whom the Bussell family members corresponded. ==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「Capel River」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
