The Oldfield River is an ephemeral river in the Goldfields-Esperance region of Western Australia that rises 95 kilometres (59 mi) inland from the South Coast at the edge of the Yilgarn plateau. The river starts at 300 metres (984 ft) above sea level then flows in a south easterly direction crossing the South Coast Highway near Munglinup. The only other tributary of the Oldfield River is Coujinup Creek. The river is regarded as saline with high nutrient levels, moderate sedimentation, moderate fringing vegetation and has a low flood risk.

  • The Oldfield River is an ephemeral river in the Goldfields-Esperance region of Western Australia that rises 95 kilometres (59 mi) inland from the South Coast at the edge of the Yilgarn plateau. The river starts at 300 metres (984 ft) above sea level then flows in a south easterly direction crossing the South Coast Highway near Munglinup. The river gently undulates through sandstone forming gentle valleys with many granite outcrops, the river then carves deeper valleys through the siltstone before entering the coastal plain. The river is then joined by its tributary, the Munglinup River, before flowing into the Oldfield estuary which discharges into the Southern Ocean. The only other tributary of the Oldfield River is Coujinup Creek. The river is regarded as saline with high nutrient levels, moderate sedimentation, moderate fringing vegetation and has a low flood risk. Named as Oldfield river by the settler Michael Simon Dempster in a letter written in 1866, the river is thought to have been named after Augustus Frederick Oldfield a plant collector who was active around the south coast of Western Australia. The river was most likely named by Albert Young Hassell of Jerramungup who explored the area in 1861. (en)
  • De Oldfield is een efemere rivier in de regio Goldfields-Esperance in West-Australië. Op 1 juni 1866 werd de rivier door William Simon Dempster (1844-1892) in een brief als de Oldfield vermeld. De rivier werd vermoedelijk naar Augustus Frederick Oldfield (1821-1887) vernoemd. Oldfield verzamelde plantenspecimen in West-Australië. Albert Young Hassell (1841-1918) uit Jerramungup zou de rivier naar hem hebben vernoemd toen hij tijdens een verkenningstocht in 1861 de rivier overstak. De rivier ontstaat ten noordoosten van Ravensthorpe en stroomt ongeveer 100 kilometer kilometer zuidzuidoostwaarts, alvorens in haar estuarium uit te monden. Het estuarium wordt door een zandbank van de Indische Oceaan gescheiden. De zandbank breekt een tot twee keer per decennium waarop het water de oceaan in stroomt. De Oldfield wordt door onder meer de 'Coujinup Creek' gevoed. De rivier de Munglinup mondt ook in haar estuarium uit. De rivier is efemeer. Enkele permanente waterpoelen worden door waterbronnen gevoed. De oeverbegroeiing is op vele plaatsen verdwenen en de waterpoelen hebben last van verzanding en eutrofiëring door ontbossing. Het rivierwater is van nature zout. (nl)
