The Murray, Australia's Greatest River II OC35J7310

During the 1870s, Echuca rose to prominence as the largest inland port in Australia, a key link between the Murray River and the thriving city of Melbourne. Its strategic location at the shortest distance point between these two points made it a crucial river port and railway junction. The 400-meter long redgum Echuca Wharf was a bustling center, where steam-powered paddleboats would dock, unloading their valuable cargoes of wool, wheat, livestock, timber, and other grains, which were then transported by rail to Melbourne. The Echuca Wharf, a Heritage Place, is proudly listed on the Australian National Heritage List.
The River Murray from Source to Sea was my second major coffee table book, published in 1983 by Rigby Publishers.
