River Murray

The River Murray is Australia’s longest river, stretching over 2,500 kilometers. It flows through several states, including New South Wales, Victoria, and South Australia, before reaching the ocean near Adelaide. The river is vital for irrigation, providing water to agriculture in the region, and supports diverse ecosystems. The Murray is historically significant to Indigenous communities and European settlers alike. Additionally, it faces challenges such as water management and environmental conservation, making it a crucial topic in discussions about sustainable development and climate change in Australia.
