Afternoon on the Murray-Darling

This afternoon saw us (Ruth, Paul, Mark and I) take a cruise down the Murray-Darling. We ventured down the Wentworth Wharf and were greeted by the Wentworth riverboat.

We spent the next hour floating up the Darling river, the scenery from the water was amazing, they were so many people out along the banks of the river relaxing and spending the afternoon with their families.

I quite enjoyed the change of landscapes – we went from populated, green river banks to flat land with only small bunches of tress and a small about of shrubbery behind the trees.

We turned around and began our journey back down the Darling river towards the centre of Wentworth, coming out at the Junction which is located about 500 metres from our place.

We turned as we approached Lock 10 and turned to have a fantastic view of Junction Island. Junction Island is the small island that separates the Murray and the Darling.

We travelled down the Murray a small distance then retured to Wentworth Wharf.
