GoBush crossing the De Grey River at Muccanoo Pool
The De Grey River is a river located in the Pilbara region of Western Australia.
The river rises south of Callawa at the confluence of the Oakover and the Nullagine rivers and flows in a west-north-westerly direction eventually discharging into the Indian Ocean via Breaker Inlet about 80 km north-east of Port Hedland.
Its stream bed is 150 - 200 metres wide, dry throughout most of the year..The shore's land is rich in grass and fertile, featuring trees.
The river flows through many semi-permanent pools of water on the way to the coast, including Yukerakine Pool, Muccanoo Pool, Talyirina Pool, Wardoomoondener Pool and Triangle Pool.
The river has eleven tributaries, including the Oakover River, Nullagine River, Coongan River, East Strelley River, Shaw River, Miningarra Creek, Egg Creek and Kookenyia Creek.
The river was named in 1861 by the explorer and surveyor Francis Gregory after Thomas de Grey, 2nd Earl de Grey who was, at the time, President of the Royal Geographical Society.

Barwon River at Brewarrina, Far West NSW filmed by Sky Eye UAV Solutions
Brewarrina is a town in North West New South Wales, Australia on the banks of the Barwon River in Brewarrina Shire. The name Brewarrina is derived from 'burru waranha', a Weilwan name for a species of Acacia, Cassia tree, Acacia clumps, a native standing or place where wild gooseberry grows.
Barwon River, a perennial river that is part of the Murray–Darling basin, is located in the north-west slopes and Orana regions of New South Wales, Australia.
The name barwon is derived from the Australian Aboriginal words of barwum or bawon, meaning great, wide, awful river of muddy water; and also baawan, a Ngiyambaa name for both the Barwon and Darling rivers. The history, culture and livelihoods of the local Aboriginal people are closely intertwined with the Barwon River and its associated tributaries and downstream flows
The river is formed through the confluence of the Macintyre River and Weir River (part of the Border Rivers system), north of Mungindi, in the Southern Downs region of Queensland. The Barwon River generally flows south and west, joined by 36 tributaries, including major inflows from the Boomi, Moonie, Gwydir, Mehi, Namoi, Macquarie, Bokhara and Bogan rivers. During major flooding, overflow from the Narran Lakes and the Narran River also flows into the Barwon. The confluence of the Barwon and Culgoa rivers, between Brewarrina and Bourke, marks the start of the Darling River.
Towns on the Barwon River, from its source towards its mouth include Mungindi, Collarenebri, Walgett, and Brewarrina.
The catchment and water flows of the Barwon River are generally administered by the Murray–Darling Basin Authority and together with the Darling River, the catchment covers about 13% of the Murray-Darling Basin.
In December 2018 midst drought, the Barwon River at Walgett ceased flowing, reduced to a series of stagnant pools

Park Pass & a Picnic - AmericanRiverConfluence
This summer I am visiting CA State Parks using our annual park pass, packing a picnic and then sharing with all of you what we find at the parks via videos like this one. We will also share what kind of picnic we packed since hey, the food counts! This park is in Auburn, CA on hwy 49 at the confluence where the North and Middle Forks of the rivers come together. It would be awesome if you would let us know what information we left out, what do you want to know more about and anything else you think would be helpful for future park reviews.
“Confluence: Reimagining Latina/o and Caribbean Diasporas in Performance”
Margaret Kemp, visiting assistant professor in the UC Davis Department of Theatre & Dance, made this talk on December 2, 2015, as part of the African American and African Studies Brown Bag Lecture Series at UC Davis.
Kemp is a multi-disciplinary performing artist and theatre educator specializing in the areas of Voice, Speech, Movement and Acting. She is currently touring her solo performance, “Confluence…” previously entitled “A Negro Speaks of Rivers Throughout the World.”
During the summer of 2015, she toured the work to Australia. In spring 2015 she wrote and directed “From the Rock” for Los Angeles Plays the River. This work brought professional and community artists together to explore the nature of ‘language and movement’ as a river that connects generations.
Currently, she is in the initial stages of a multi-city research project aiming toward a creative non-fiction work that will explore the challenges communities face when governments decide to ‘re-brand’ neighborhoods by ‘re-naming’ the area. As a multi-disciplinary artist she is fluent in technological platforms that allow her to seamlessly fuse her creative impulses into a single cohesive and prismatic expression.
As an actor she has appeared on regional and international stages including Arena Stage, Mark Taper Forum, Yale Rep, South Coast Repertory, La Mama Theatre (Melbourne, Australia), Theatre of Changes (Athens, Greece), Red Pear Theatre (Antibes, France), and The Magnet Theatre (Cape Town, South Africa). She won world-wide praise for her starring role in the film “Children of God.” Her latest film, the supernatural thriller, “The Dark Rite,” is slated for a 2015 release. Her visual work has been shown in solo and group shows at Art Share Los Angeles and The National Gallery of Art in Nassau, Bahamas.

Mysteries of the Leeuwin (1988)
This documentary examines the nature and impact of the Leeuwin Current, the great surge of warm water which travels down the coast of Western Australia and into the Bight each winter. It is the only current off the western edge of the continent that carries warm water to the poles.
The study of the Leeuwin by CSIRO marine scientists involves the deployment of moored instruments and drifting buoys as well as the enhancement and interpretation of satellite imagery.
There is now strong evidence linking the strength of the current to the El Niño phenomenon, the great fluctuation in atmospheric pressure which presages widespread climatic disturbances, including Australia''s recurrent severe droughts.
The Leeuwin influences the migration and spawning of the Western rock lobster as well as the blue-fin tuna, salmon and other important marine life.

Beckenham
Beckenham is a town in south east London within the London Borough of Bromley, England. It borders the London Borough of Lewisham. It lies north west of Bromley and is located 8.4 miles (13.5 km) south east of Charing Cross. Until the coming of the railway in 1857, Beckenham was a small village in the county of Kent with almost completely rural surroundings: once a family of entrepreneurs began the building of villas here, its population soared from 2,000 to 26,000 during 1850–1900 and throughout the rest of the twentieth century. The current population is nearly 82,000. Beckenham forms part of London suburbia, but it is a town in its own right, and some of the grand houses of the early days remain.

'Blowback' and Changing Commodity Chains in the Hemispheric War on Cocaine: 1900-2015
Talk by Paul Gootenberg, SUNY Distinguished Professor of History & Sociology at Stony Brook University.
After its mid-twentieth transformation into an illicit good, shifting commodity chains of cocaine became the driver of the 1980s and beyond US War on Drugs. But the blowback effects of US policies have also driven a series of unintended impacts on the geographies, politics, and security threats of cocaine--including the current shift to globalized cocaine and growing Latin American dissent from the global drug war.
