Travelog post for: Tilda

Today we explored the Murray River by bus, paddle steamer and car ferry (as pedestrians  )


The Murray is the longest river in Australia, the 16th longest in the world and the third longest navigable river in the world, after the Amazon and Nile. For a long period of time, before cars and trucks it was an essential part of trade between South Australia, New South Wales, Victoria and Queensland, even though in times of drought the paddlesteamers could be stranded at one spot or another for months at a time.


Now, many people travel it in houseboats. It must be a lovely way to pass a week or two, just slowly meandering along...
