The Murray River

More about the book

The Murray, Australia's mightiest river, flows 2520 km from the Australian Alps to the Southern Ocean. Passing through snow-capped mountains, rich agricultural country and parched mallee, it undergoes as many transformations as the landscape around it. This guidebook introduces you to the Murray in its many guises and moods, following the river as it develops from spirited mountain creek to mature, majestic waterway. You'll escape to little-known national parks, be touched by the sprits of long-gone Aboriginal dwellers and follow in the footsteps of European pioneers. Containing more than 200 stunning photographs, detailed area maps and a lift-out poster map of the entire course of the river, this Australian Geographic guide is invaluable for anyone who intends to explore the mighty Murray.
