Each of the following links is full of stories about each stage of my journey along the Murray River. Photographs show how the river changes from a mountain stream, winding through picturesque hillsides, past the sentinel red gums of the inland plains, till, flanked by tall cliffs, it takes its last 500km to the sea. Pick high / low river, your favorite town, or work your way through from start to finish.
