Murray River

The Murray River is Australia's longest river, stretching about 2,520 kilometers (1,565 miles). It flows from the Australian Alps in New South Wales, through Victoria, and into South Australia, eventually reaching the ocean via the Murray-Darling delta. The river is vital for agriculture, providing water for irrigation, and supports ecosystems along its course. It also plays a significant cultural role for the Indigenous peoples and is a popular site for recreation and tourism. Its basin covers a large area, making it a crucial resource for the region's environment, economy, and communities.
