Albert River, North Queensland, traverses a grassy plain, and falls into the Gulf of Carpentaria, below Burketown, after a total course of about 200 miles. It is connected by a cross branch with another nearly parallel stream, the Gregory. The climate of its basin is tropical, and the land is partly occupied for grazing purposes.
