My journeys along the Murray, Murrumbidgee & Goulburn Rivers

Navigation by river...

Each of the following links is full of stories about each stage of my journey along the Murray River. Photographs show how it 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 your favorite town, or work your way through from start to finish.
