The Murray
Australia's greatest river, and the strange country it hides
The Murray earns its legend the slow way: paddle steamers still churning out of Echuca-Moama, river red gums leaning over sandy beaches, and the quiet spectacle at Wentworth where the Darling finally joins in. But wander off the bank and the country turns surreal. Sandboard the towering Perry Sandhills, stand beside salt lakes that photograph genuinely pink, and walk the lunar lakebed of Mungo, where footprints and fireplaces record more than 40,000 years of human life. The river is the icon. The hinterland is the plot twist.
