The mighty Murray River flows 1,600 miles between New South Wales and Victoria through to South Australia.

This book is both a detailed survey of the Murray's development and an affectionate portrait of the river and its people, packed with colour and black and white photographs.

Sixteen contributors provide a first-hand account of the river's history in all its aspects, including articles on the Aborigines, pioneer life, and steamers, as well as wildlife, fish, flora, and geology.
