A journal entry by Sir Thomas Mithell, circa 1846
“…and soon came upon the river, where it formed a noble reach of water…as fine a looking stream as I have seen in the colony, excepting only the Murray… raised my hopes that this river might be found to come from the NW, a direction it maintained for 5 miles. The breadth was uniform and the vast body of water a cheering site. The banks were 120 yards apart, the course in general was very straight, contributing much to the scenery upon it…”
One-hour cruises can be booked too, a maximum of 27 passengers.
Fishing Charters arranged upon request (conditions apply) Not available from April 1st -Sept 30th!
Murray Cod Yellowbelly and Jewfish are amongst the many fluvial delights found in the river.
