Shirley and I were recently at the Murray River near Mannum, South Australia, home to the River Queen, a very old icon on the river. You can see folks boarding for a four-night cruise up the river.
In the photo below, Shirley stands on the boardwalk too. But, no, we were not passengers.

The Murray is the third largest navigable river in the world after the Amazon and the Nile. It supports four dams, 15 lochs, thousands of acres of irrigated crops, and runs almost 2,500 miles.

Take a cruise on Australia's Murray River - or stand on the bank with Vic Midyett and send us photigraphs. Enjoy the sights! [Thank you, Vic!]
ReplyDeleteI see the river runs East to West but that is just a guess as you are upside down. smile
ReplyDeleteLOVE your comment, Ed. Made me laugh.
ReplyDeleteHaaa...Yes, it does run East West, but also North South. It starts in the Blue Mountains and they run North South in varying elevations all along the East coast. BTW..the water empties down the plug hole in a sink the opposite direction to America and the Northern hemisphere too. And that is a fact.
ReplyDeleteViv, I've heard that about the direction fluid circles going down a drain in the northern and southern hemispheres, but haven't personally verified the fact as you have.
DeleteVic: Your photography continues to get better, and it was pretty good to begin with! Steve J.
ReplyDeleteNice spot Vic, Sue & I have stayed there several times, you & Jake must be getting to cross the Nullabor
