Downstream : The River Murray in South Australia

 

South Australians live in the 'driest state in the driest inhabited continent in the world'.  The Murray has been called South Australia's 'lifeline', as this major waterway provides the majority of the population with water for irrigation, industry and domestic demands.

This theme focuses on the River Murray in South Australia, celebrating its history, places and people, issues and events, and recognising the challenges to its survival and efforts made to meet those challenges.
