The Chamberlain River is a river in the Kimberley region of Western Australia.
The headwaters of the river rise in the Durack Range near Yulumbu. The river flows in a northerly direction along the range until it merges with the Pentecost River near El Questro Station.
The traditional owners of the area are the Kitja people. [2]
The river was named in 1901 by the surveyor Frederick Brockman. It is thought that the river was named after either the shipbuilder, William Chamberlain or the politician Joseph Chamberlain. [3]
The Great Dividing Range, also known as the East Australian Cordillera or the Eastern Highlands, is a cordillera system in eastern Australia consisting of an expansive collection of mountain ranges, plateaus and rolling hills, that runs roughly parallel to the east coast of Australia and forms the fifth-longest land-based mountain chain in the world, and the longest entirely within a single country. It is mainland Australia's most substantial topographic feature and serves as the definitive watershed for the river systems in eastern Australia, hence the name.
