Mary River is a river in the Kimberley 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 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), the daughter of Marshall Waller Clifton and Elinor Bell. The traditional owners of the areas around the river are the ''Djaru'' and ''Konejandi'' peoples.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title= AusAnthrop Australian Aboriginal tribal database )〕 ==References== 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「Mary River (Western Australia)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
