Here's a couple of links you could try a search thru.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_watercourses_in_Western_Australia
http://www.landgate.wa.gov.au/corporate.nsf/web/History+of+River+Names
The WA Department of Water may also have something.

Re: creek names?
Carms,
Most creeks in the Goldfields aren't given a fixed name such as Kilkenny Creek, Beasley Creek, Station Creek etc. The reason being that they are often dry beds and don't even look like a watercourse. The lesser ones aren't named in any mapping nomenclature but are often given "localised" names by both black and white locals. They have thier own names for them. Best ask arounbd town?
