Mary River (Northern Territory)
The Mary River flows in the Northern Territory of Australia and is a site of the Mary River National Park. Description The river is approximately long and rises about east of Pine Creek, Northern Territory, Pine Creek. The catchment area is over but is ephemeral and only flows in the wet season, during the dry it is a series of pools and billabongs. The catchment has several small reserve areas forming the Mary River National Park to help protect it. The Arnhem Highway crosses the river near one of the park areas. It also supports multiple land uses including pastoralism, fishing, mining, defence force, tourism, conservation, and horticulture. Pastoralism, particularly cattle grazing is the dominant use, taking up 63% of the catchment area. The river has a total of ten tributary, tributaries, including the Little Mary River, MacKinlay River, Bowerbird Creek, Mingloo Creek and Douglas Creek. It has a mean annual outflow of . Its lower reaches form part of the Adelaide and ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Mary River (Queensland)
The Mary River (Gubbi Gubbi language, Gubbi Gubbi: Moocooboola) is a major river system in the South East Queensland, South East and Wide Bay–Burnett regions of Queensland, Australia. It is the six longest coastal river in the state and unique in that it flows south to north. It is home to three threatened species, the Mary River turtle, white-throated snapping turtle and the Mary River cod. The Mary River was to be dammed with the construction of the Traveston Crossing Dam until it was cancelled due to environmental reasons. The river has experienced major floods in 1955, 1992, 1999, 2011, 2013 and 2022. Etymology The river was named ''Wide Bay River'' on 10 May 1842 by early European explorers, Andrew Petrie and Henry Stuart Russell. The official name was changed on 8 September 1847 (prior to Queensland becoming a separate colony) by Charles Augustus FitzRoy, then Governor of New South Wales, to ''Mary River'' — after his wife Lady Mary Lennox (15 August 1790 to 7 De ...

Mary River Cod
The Mary River cod (''Maccullochella mariensis'') is a species of temperate perch native to the coastal Mary River system of southern Queensland, Australia. Mary River cod are one of Australia's most endangered freshwater fishes and are notable for being the most northerly of the four '' Maccullochella'' cods found or once found in coastal river systems of eastern Australia. The endangered status of the fish was one of the reasons that the Traveston Crossing Dam was not able to be built. The species is very territorial, staying in the same spot for 98% of the time, leaving only to feed and breed. Description The Mary River cod is a large fish recorded up to almost 40 kg and 120 cm in the early years of European settlement, but now are mostly less than 5 kg and 70 cm. Very similar in appearance to Murray cod and eastern freshwater cod, they are striking looking, golden-yellow to dark green or brown, deep-bodied fish with dark green to black mottling. C ...

Mary River Turtle
The Mary River turtle (''Elusor macrurus'') is an endangered species of short-necked turtle in the family Chelidae. The species is endemic to the Mary River in south-east Queensland, Australia. Although this turtle was known to inhabit the Mary River for nearly 30 years, it was not until 1994 that it was recognised as a new species. There has been a dramatic decrease in its population due to low reproduction rates and an increase of depredation on nests. Taxonomy and common names The Mary River turtle was first formally described in 1994. The Mary River turtle is also commonly called the green-haired turtle and the punk turtle, due to the algae that grows on its head or shell. ''Elusor'' is a monotypic genus representing a very old lineage of turtles that has all but disappeared from the evolutionary history of Australia. Description Unusually for turtles, males are larger than females in this species. Male Mary River turtles are one of Australia's largest turtles. Specimen ...

Mary River (Western Australia)
The Mary River is a river in the Kimberley region of Western Australia. The headwaters of the river rise south of Mount Angelo, approximately 25 km south of Halls Creek. The river then flows in a westerly direction through Oollumarra Soak and discharges into Margaret River, of which it is a tributary. Mary River has nine tributaries, including the Laura River, Willy Willy Creek, Garden Creek, Hangman Creek and Janet Creek. The river was named in 1884 when the area was explored by a government survey party led by Harry Johnston, who named it after his mother, Mary Johnston (1822–1893), a daughter of Marshall Waller Clifton and Elinor Bell. The traditional owners of the areas around the river are the Djaru and Konejandi The Gooniyandi, also known as the Konejandi, are an Aboriginal Australian people in the Kimberley (Western Australia), Kimberley region of Western Australia.

Mary River (Nunavut)
Mary River is located on Baffin Island in the Qikiqtaaluk Region of Nunavut, about northwest of the capital, Iqaluit, and about southwest of Pond Inlet The Inuit, name for the Mary River mountain is ''Nuluyait'', meaning buttocks. There is a 4,000 year history in the area. For hundreds of years the semi-nomadic Inuit from the region that includes the hamlets of Pond Inlet and Igloolik, met at Mary River during the summer hunting caribou. By 2011, the population of the region was about 5,400 people, many of whom continued the traditional hunting and fishing lifestyle living off the land. A Canadian prospector found rich iron ore deposits in 1962 but it was only in the 2010s that a mining project was developed. In March 2011, a private equity fund in the United States and Luxembourg-based ArcelorMittal SA, the largest steel maker in the world, jointly purchased the small Toronto-based public Canadian company, Baffinland Iron Mines Corporation, that had owned the Mary River lea ...

Mary River Mine
The Mary River Mine is an Open-pit mining, open-pit Iron ore, iron ore mine in the Mary River (Nunavut), Mary River area of Baffin Island, Canada. It is operated by the Baffinland Iron Mines Corporation (BIMC). As of 2021, the operation consists of an open-pit mine, two work camps for hundreds of workers, a ''tote road''—from the Mary River site to Milne Inlet—and port infrastructure at Milne Inlet. According to a 4-year study published in 2008, the Mary River Mine, with its four massive iron ore deposits of 65-70% pure iron ore was "one of the most promising undeveloped iron deposits on the planet". It was not until technological advances were in place in 2010, and the market for iron ore had dramatically increased that sizable financial backing was available for the high cost of development in a remote region known for its inhospitable climate. The mine began operations in 2014, and the first shipment to Europe arrived in 2015. Baffinland is currently planning on expanding th ...

The lower part of the course of the Mary River is within the flats which border Imuruk Basin. Above these flats, the valleys of the two branches of the Mary River are wide, and within them, the rivers meander over broad flood plains. Between the forks of the river there is a broad, flat-topped ridge, with an elevation of , which is partly covered with washed gravel. At the edge of the Imuruk lowlands, where the Mary River enters them, there are gravel bluffs and isolated gravel buttes. These bluffs and buttes are remnants of a higher gravel plain. On the ridge between the forks of the Mary River, there are two low, rocky buttes, which, on account of the ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
