The Border Rivers refers to a group of rivers and the associated region near the border between New South Wales and Queensland, states of Australia.
The rivers rise in the New England Tablelands bioregion and together they form the headwaters of the Darling River, draining the western side of the Great Dividing Range. The eastern boundary of the Border Rivers catchment area extends along the Great Dividing Range divide from Stanthorpe in the north, to Guyra and Uralla, in the south. The western boundary of the region converges near the New South Wales town of Mungindi.
Famous quotes containing the words border and/or rivers:
“For my part, I feel that with regard to Nature I live a sort of border life, on the confines of a world into which I make occasional and transient forays only, and my patriotism and allegiance to the state into whose territories I seem to retreat are those of a moss-trooper.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
“In the rivers north of the future.”
—Paul Celan [Paul Antschel] (1920–1970)
