The Paroo River is a river in the east of Australia and is considered the most important tributary of the Darling River, although its water does not normally reach it because they seep away beforehand. It is the last unregulated river in the northern part of the Murray-Darling basin [4] .

The river rises in the canyonland of the western Queensland between Adavale and Charleville At the Mariala National Park, meanders to the south, is distributed into the wide floodplains of New South Wales and finally reaches the Paroo flood lakes in the Paroo Darling National Park. Its total length is around 600 kilometers.

The wetlands of the Paroo River in the northwest of the state of New South Wales are very important for a number of water birds in the east of Australia. This also includes endangered species, such as the monkey duck and the Australian gold snake.

On September 20, 2007, the Australian Minister for the Environment and Water reserves, Malcolm Turnbull, announced that the Australian federal government had included the wetlands of the Paroo River in the Ramsar Convention, which made it the 65th Australian wetland with international importance in this agreement [5] .
