The Goyder River is a river in the Northern Territory, Australia. ==Description== The headwaters of the river rise at the base of the Mitchell Ranges and are fed by spring discharge from an extensive dolomite aquifer〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=NT waterwatch education kit - Part 3; Aquatic ecosystems and habitats )〕 that supports areas of rainforest along the banks. The river then flows north west before crossing the Central Arnhem Road then veering north and later forming multiple braided channels and feeding the Arafura Swamp before eventually discharging into the Glyde River which in turn empties into Castlereagh Bay and the Arafura Sea. The swamp area occupies an area of in the dry season and is of great cultural significance to the Yolngu people, in particular the Ramingining community which is located on the edge of the swamp.〔Australian Nature Conservation Agency.

ISBN 0-642-21378-X〕 The river catchment occupies an area of and is wedged between the Blyth River catchment to the west, the Walker and Roper River catchments to the south and the Buckingham and Koolatong River catchments to the east.〔 〕 Three tributaries discharge into the Goyder; Annie Creek, Sheridan Creek and the Gulbuwangay River. The Goyder has a mean average discharge of with a maximum flow of per second and a minimum flow of per second.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Pacific Aluminium: Proposed Katherine to Gove Gas Pipeline )〕 It is the ninth largest river system in the Northern Territory but has the second highest end of dry season flow-rate.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Sites of Conservation Significance - Arafura Swamp )〕 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「Goyder River」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
