Wakefield River

The Wakefield River, is part of an estuary located in South Australia. It is an ephemeral river that usually flows only when there are significant rains. It rises above Mintaro, flowing southward, passing the towns of Watervale and Auburn, where it is fed by several small creeks, and then curves to flow westerly past the town of Balaklava into the head of Gulf St Vincent at Port Wakefield.
The river's catchment covers . Three quarters of the catchment is used for agricultural purposes.〔
==History==

The first European to discover it was William Hill in 1838, who named it after Edward Gibbon Wakefield, the promoter of the scheme of systematic colonization that led to the founding of the Colony of South Australia.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.slsa.sa.gov.au/manning/pn/w/w1.htm#wakefieldR )〕 The second European to visit was explorer Edward John Eyre, in May 1839, who records that he encamped, 'upon a chain of large ponds of excellent water called by Mr. Hill the Wakefield.' 〔E.J. Eyre's Autobiographical Narrative, 1832-1839, edited by Jill Waterhouse (Caliban, London, 1984), page 196.〕
