Route map and Rivers

 Here is a map of our route. 



We travelled just under 3000kms all up on this trip. One of the features of the route was the number of rivers we crossed. Well known rivers, all part of the massive Murray-Murrumbidgee-Darling River system, one of the largest river systems in the world. The river basin covers 1,059,000 square kilometres, approximately 14% of Australia's land mass. 


The Murray River forms the border between the States of Victoria and New South Wales and ultimately runs out into the Southern Ocean in South Australia. If you look at the above map, the Murray River is along the bottom, above that is the Murrumbidgee River, then the Lachlan River. We also cross the Belubula River, a tributary of the Lachlan. North of the Lachlan River are the Bogan and Macquarie Rivers, both of which we crossed on our travels.
