In response to the need to better understand Australia’s tropical river systems, this project aimed collating available datasets relating to Australia’s Tropical Rivers; and to then produce a set of relevant information suitable for upload to the Australian Natural Resources Atlas.

The data assessment included rivers, wetlands, estuaries and floodplains as integrated systems within both a catchment and land use context. The assessment region for the project were catchments in the Timor Sea and Gulf of Carpentaria Drainage Divisions of northern Australia.

The project outputs includes a hard-copy report that presents the outputs in map form, details data collation or synthesis methods used and includes a Metadata Appendix of all datasets collated.
