Women of the River Country

Book Description

Secondhand. Good condition. Wear to book edges.

The Murray Darling Basin stretches across four Australian states and is home to the country's three longest rivers - the Murray, Darling and Murrumbidgee.

This booklet was produced as part of the Women of the River Country exhibition, a national exhibition developed by the staff and volunteers of the Mannum Dock Museum of River History.

The project highlighted the importance of many remarkable women who played a vital role in shaping the river country. Showcased are the stories of 19 women from the mid-1800s to the 21st century. From early European pioneers to an international sporting icon, to a world-class musician, all have been connected to the riverscape.
