Abstract;Taking the watersheds of the Bega River and Murrumbidgee River in Australia as examples, the following were considered: Motion of the sediments and geomorphological recovery of the rivers.The former is a river dominantly with cliffs near the coast, and the latter is a river, the inland part of which is almost dry.The landforms of Australia were outlined, and the spatial forms of the deposited sediments in the country were also mentioned.The speeds, at which the nature and landforms are transformed, are different in different watersheds and are deeply related to the patterns of the sediment movement in the watersheds.
