RIVERBOATS ON THE MURRAY

Description:

Travel through rolling hills and Mallee outback to the mighty River Murray bringing watered life to a thirsty land - a land now rich in green vineyards, golden citrus orchards and prosperous rural communities.

Mannum - the birthplace of the River Murray Paddlesteamers. Mannum - the River Murray gateway to the harsh empty inland of Australia, still reeking with our historic past - the bawdy days of the riverboat men toiling up river in the blazing sun.
