"if you come down to the river"......ccr...

if you come down to the river ....this is the murray river that seperates victoria from new south wales...this used to be the major produce highway for huge riverboats that would service the towns along it's 2500km length...now a days you are more than likely to see house boat's such as this with holiday maker's enjoying the peace and tranquility of this mighty river...
Lovely peaceful river view, though I wish I could view the might of the Murray in full flow & brimming with boats.

A lovely scene....are staying near the river. We have so many commercial RV parks as well as state/county.national parks to stay. Is there an abundance of places for you to stay in your RV?

@eyesmile ...hi Gena...yes we are camped on the edge of the river about 30 ft back..this is crown land which is open to campers...we usually stay until we run out of water or power as we only have solar panels and need a fair amount of sunlight to charge the batteries...we carry about 200 litres of fresh water and its now running low so will be moving north today ...probably to lake wyangan neer griffith ...thanks for your fav and comments on maryborough too...cheers john
