a secondary channel of a river that leaves the main channel and rejoins it further downstream.
Australia provides a continental setting conducive to the formation of anabranching rivers. Very low relief, within channel vegetation and cohesive fine-grained sediment in an arid environment with declining flow discharges and increasing sedimentation downstream encourage the development of anabranches.
