Prince Regent River
The headwaters of the river rise in the Caroline Range near Mount Agnes then flow in a north westerly direction.The river enters and flows through the Prince Regent National Park and past King Cascade and finally discharging into Saint George Basin and Hanover Bay to the Indian Ocean.The river is named after the Hanoverian prince, King George IV, who was shortly to succeed his father to the throne.The first European to settle in the area was Joseph Bradshaw, who established Marigui homestead along the river with his cousin Aeneas Gunn in 1890.The pastoral venture was unsuccessful but Gunn later documented his memoirs of the time in the book Pioneering in Northern Australia.
