Dumaresq River , a perennial stream of the Macintyre catchment within the Murray–Darling basin, is located in the Northern Tablelands and North West Slopes districts of New South Wales and the Darling Downs district of Queensland, Australia.〔 Part of the course of the river marks the boundary between Queensland and New South Wales. The river rises on the western slopes of the Great Dividing Range, near Mole River in New South Wales. The upper reaches of the Dumaresq River, namely the Queensland branch of the Severn River, form north of Stanthorpe, in Queensland. The Dumaresq River flows generally southwest and northwest, joined by fourteen tributaries, including the Severn (Queensland), Beardy River, and Macintyre Brook, before reaching its confluence with the Macintyre River, near Boggabilla; descending over its course. The Dumaresq River, together with Pike Creek, the Mole, Beardy, Severn (Queensland), Severn (New South Wales), and Macintyre rivers are all part of the Border Rivers group. The Dumaresq River flows through Bonshaw, New South Wales and Yelarbon and Texas in Queensland. South of Texas, the Bruxner Highway crosses the Dumaresq River. ==Etymology== The traditional custodians of the land surrounding the Dumaresq River are the Aboriginal Bigambul peoples, who called the river ''Karaula''.〔 The Kamilaroi people also have strong connections to the river. The river was first sighted by European explorer and botanist, Allan Cunningham, in 1827 and named in honour of Lt-Colonel Henry Dumaresq, a relative of Ralph Darling,〔〔 the Governor of New South Wales at that time. 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「Dumaresq River」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
