The Gibb River is a river in the Kimberley region of northern Western Australia.
The headwaters of the river rise between the Caroline and Gibb Ranges. The river flows in a northerly direction until merging with the Drysdale River, of which it is a tributary. Gibb River has three tributaries: North Creek, Plain Creek and Russ Creek.
The Gibb River was named in 1901 by the surveyor Charles Crossland during an expedition in the Kimberley area. It is named after geologist Andrew Gibb Maitland who had accompanied Crossland and was present when the river was first sighted. In turn, it gives its name to the Gibb River Road, a former cattle route that stretches almost 660 kilometres (410 mi) across he Kimberley between the towns of Derby and the Kununurra and Wyndham junction of the Great Northern Highway.
The traditional owners of the area that the river flows through are the Ngarinjin people.

The Gibb River Road is a road in the Kimberley region of Western Australia.
The road is a former cattle route that stretches in an east-west direction almost 660 kilometres (410 mi) through the Kimberley between the towns of Derby and the Kununurra and Wyndham junction of the Great Northern Highway. Like its namesake, which does not actually cross the road but runs nearby at 16°06.108′S 126°31.075′E / 16.101800°S 126.517917°E / -16.101800; 126.517917, it is named after geologist and explorer Andrew Gibb Maitland. The Gibb River Road is one of the two major roads which dissect the Kimberley region—the other being the extreme northern section of Great Northern Highway which runs further to the south.
The road is often closed due to flooding during the wet season, which is typically November through March, although delayed openings have been known to happen, frustrating the tourism industry as well as locals who rely on the road. Since the mid-2000s, the road has been upgraded to a formed gravel two-lane road including a few short bitumenised sections, but 4WD vehicles are still recommended due to the water crossings and numerous heavily corrugated sections.

The City of Kitchener /ˈkɪtʃᵻnər/ is a city in Southern Ontario, Canada. Located approximately 100 km west of Toronto, Kitchener is the seat of the Regional Municipality of Waterloo. It was the Town of Berlin from 1854 until 1912 and the City of Berlin from 1912 until 1916. The city had a population of 219,153 in the 2011 Census. The metropolitan area, which includes the neighbouring cities of Waterloo and Cambridge, has 507,096 people, making it the tenth largest Census Metropolitan Area (CMA) in Canada and the fourth largest CMA in Ontario. The city is adjacent to the smaller cities of Cambridge to the south, and Waterloo to the north. Kitchener and Waterloo are often referred to jointly as "Kitchener-Waterloo" (K-W), although they have separate municipal governments. Including Cambridge, the three cities are known as "the Tri-Cities".
The City of Kitchener covers an area of 136.86 square kilometres.
Kitchener is located in Southwestern Ontario, in the Saint Lawrence Lowlands. This geological and climatic region has wet-climate soils and deciduous forests. Located in the Grand River Valley, the area is generally above 300m (1000') in elevation.
The following is a list of state highways in the U.S. state of Louisiana designated in the 1050-1099 range.
Louisiana Highway 1050 (LA 1050) runs 4.97 miles (8.00 km) in a north–south direction from LA 38 west of Kentwood to LA 440 in Tangipahoa. The route's mileposts increase from the northern end contrary to common practice.
LA 1050 heads southeast from LA 38 and intersects LA 1049. After curving due east, LA 1050 crosses over without connecting to I-55. At a T-intersection with LA 1051, the highway turns south and enters the village of Tangipahoa. It continues as Dr. Martin Luther King Drive until reaching its terminus at LA 440 (Center Street). LA 1050 is an undivided two-lane highway for its entire length.
In the pre-1955 state highway system, the majority of LA 1050 was designated as State Route 1056. However, the portion south of LA 1051 was part of pre-1955 Route 33-D and was the original alignment of both Route 33 and US 51 during the 1920s. LA 1050 was created in the 1955 Louisiana Highway renumbering, and its route has remained the same to the present day.

When the world gets too confusing
And all my dreams seem out of reach
Only questions, no solutions
And no way out that I can see
I stand there like a fool
Lost in need of rescue
When no one else can find a way
She gets to me
Everytime she gets to me
Lays her heart on the line
And helps me hold on
Til I find my way home
Her love is all i need
Oooh ooh ooh
She gets to me
Late at night I watch her sleeping
And think of how things used to be
I can't imagine life without her
She's become so much a part of me
When I need her most
She always seems to notice
When no one else can understand
She gets to me
Everytime she gets to me
Lays her heart on the line
And helps me hold on
Til I find my way home
Her love is all i need
Oooh ooh ooh
