if there was a river straight through the middle of Australia, which way would the water flow?

DOWN, IS THE ANSWER. \nRIVERS FLOW FROM HIGHLANDS, WHEREVER THEY ARE, TO THE SEA, WHEREVER THAT IS.\n\nIF YOU ARE SAYING THAT THE RIVER COMPLETELY BISECTS AUSTRALIA, IT'S NOT A RIVER, BUT A TIDAL STRAIT.

The bit of knowledge I do have would suggest it should go straight down, but as never been to the equator have no proof.\n\nThese are some comments I have found:\nIt is scientifically proven it will go directly down without spinning unless you are just a bit over to one side of the equator.\n\nThe way your toilet flushes is completely random.\n\nMichigan University teamed up with Victoria University (In Wellington) to test it. They got a really big tank, drilled a hole in it, filled it up and watched the way the water spun as it drained. It was a fifty-fifty split in both places.\n\nMy science teacher went to the equator and did it and it said it went straight down when PERFECTLY on thr equator.

It's an imaginary line that connects the points at which a drop of water would flow either east or west, to the atlantic or pacific ocean.    Dump a bucket of water east of the line, it goes to the Atlantic.  Dump it west of the line, it's heading for the Pacific.

History\n\nUnlike most other parts of the world, where modern humans evolved from earlier forms, the Aborigines probably came to Australia as modern human beings 40,000 to 60,000 years ago. Some people beleive that the Aborigines have existed on Australia for 120,000 to 150,000 years, but have not been able to find conclusive evidence to support their theories. 40,000 years ago the world looked very different. An ice age was just ending and there were huge amounts of ice at the poles of the earth. The large ice caps on the north and south poles caused the oceans to be 400 to 600 feet lower than they currently are, letting Australia extend much farther into the ocean than it currently does. Australia, New Guinea and Tasmania were all part of one continent leaving the widest possible gap of water between Ausralia and the Asian landmass at just 80 miles. The most probable reason for the existance of people in Australia is that people who had already spread throughout the Indonesian islands were able to see the smoke of naturaly occuring Austrlian brush fires from Borneo. The indigenous people of the Indonesian islands today are excellent watercraftsmen and swimmers. It is very likely that the Ancestors of these people realized when they saw smoke in the distance that there was land there and sailed to find it. Once people landed in Australia they spread along the coastline to southern Australia, with some people crossing a land bridge to Tasmania. Eventually Aborigines inhabited every part of Australia. Even though modern day Aborigines originated from a single group of people, the extrmely diverse geography of Australia has greatly shaped the difernt groups of Aborigines living within Australia. Different groups evolved differntly in different parts of Australia, and today there are hundreds of cultures and languages which are different but share the same basic beliefs, such as The Dreaming.\n \nReligion\nThe Aborigonal religion is based heavily on the Dreaming. The Dreaming is the Aboriginal creation story. Aborigines believe that at the beginning of time the world was a shapless mass of nothing, waitng to be transformed into what we see today. The mythic beings called the ancestors arrived, the ancestors took many shapes, although most commonly they were great serpants. The ancestors began to travel across the world shaping the landscape and creating new life as they went. Every major geographical feature in australia has an aboriginal story to explain it. The Dreaming gets very abstract, it turns almost into another dimension. Aborigines beleive that they are constantly living in the Dreaming and that every time they do something they leave an impression on the other reality that is the Dreaming.\n\n Hope all this helps I got it from http://members.tripod.com/siekman/ \n you should check it out to get more info. just be careful not to put word-for-word... or be sure to tell where you well I got it from.... lol I guess you konw not to plagurise lol.

The deepest river would be the Nile in East Africa.\nThe river with most volume of water would be Amazon.

RIVERS THAT FLOW NORTH \n"To many Americans . . . , north is the wrong way for a river to flow,  which leads to geographic confusion." \n-- Angus Phillips, "Simple Gifts of the Shenandoah", National Geographic, December 1996\n\n"The important thing to remember is that to a river, or more precisely to the drops of water that make up the river, "down" has nothing to do with compass points -- with latitude or longitude -- only with altitude."\n\n2Surprisingly, four of the world's ten longest rivers flow generally in a northern direction. The Nile in Africa, the Ob-Irtysh and the Lena in Eurasia and the Mackenzie-Peace in North America."\n\nLots more information at the site below

my guess is the oceans, and other bodies of water, i.e. lakes, rivers, and streams!

First get a ruler, then go to the river..........

I would say New South Wales

it passes through the pacific, atlantic, and indian oceans. really the only ocean it doesnt pass through is the arctic ocean.

radon360 is correct, dont listen to the others.\n\nThe way water drains just depends on which way you pour it down.\n\nIf toilets flush the other way in australia it is entirely due to australian toilet manufacturers or some sort of australian plumber conspiracy.

Water! Most of the earth is covered with water.

That would be a natural levee.\n\nWhen the river's water exceeds its banks, the water begins to slow down.\n\nThe slower velocity will cause the heaviest of the sediments to "fall out".\n\nSome of the sediment will be deposited on the banks of the river forming a natural levee.

Technically it'd be water. Though i bet on pride :)

It's also true with water going down the drain. It goes the other way in the southern hemisphere, because of the earths rotation.
