Strangways River is a tributary of the Roper River east of Elsey, Northern Territory, Australia.[1]
The river was named in 1862 by the Scottish explorer John McDouall Stuart. Stuart wrote in his journal: "Saturday, June 14 - River Strangways, named after the Hon. H B Templar Strangways, Commissioner of Crown Lands, South Australia, and who, since his taking office, has done all in his power to promote exploration of the interior."[2]
The Strangways crater was named after the river. The crater is west of the river, 75 km southeast of Elsey Station.[3]
