This aerial photograph shows the mouth of the Nassau River, flowing into the Gulf of Carpentaria, Cape York, Far North Queensland, Australia. The Nassau River runs over a distance of about 144 kilometers through the `Western Lower Mitchell Plains` and `Coastal Plains` of Cape York. The more elevated area of the Lower Plains is characterized by eucalypt dominated savannah meanwhile the Coastal Plainlands are seasonal swamps, floodlands or estuary salt-marshes with mangrove river bank vegetation.
