Traveler Perhaps if you approached the junction from the Murrumbidgee it may have been more dramatic? Here is Captain Stuart’s description: On January 14, 1830 was a great day in the history of exploration as Captain Charles Sturt encountered the Murray River: “Suddenly the Murrumbidgee took a southern direction but in its tortuous course swept round to every point of the compass with the greatest irregularity. We were carried at a fearful rate down it’s gloomy and contracted banks. At 3 p.m., Hopkinson called out that we were approaching a junction, and in less than a minute afterwards we were hurried into a broad and noble river.” Sturt was on the Murray, 770 miles (1,239 kilometres) from its mouth.
Traveler Boiled river water doesnt sound good! Tough times and no alternatives! Very Interesting info Peter! Enjoy the next few, less gruelling days xxx
