Murray River

The Murray holds the crown as Australia's most extensive river that can be navigated, and globally sits third in length. The Upper Murray section, nestled in the Australian Alps, primarily benefits from the melted snow supply. Nonetheless, multiple sources nourish this splendid waterway, not just the melting snow, providing plenty of perfect spots for abundant riverside camping experiences.
