    OFFICIAL TOURING MAP THE MIGHTY MURRAY Welcome to the legendary Murray River, Australia’s longest and most iconic river, a state border, lifeblood to millions and simply a great place for a holiday. This map outlines the various captivating experiences that are on offer along the legendary Murray River. Gourmet traveler? Dip into sensational food and wine country along the Murray’s culinary tour, which leads you around Albury, Yarrawonga, Echuca Moama, Swan Hill, Mildura, and many other Murray towns, where you can scour the farmers’ markets and savour the cellar doors – this is, after all, Australia’s abundant food bowl. The Murray River flows through the very heart of Australia’s history. The Murray is imbued with thousands of years of Aboriginal settlement, while stories of pioneers, pastoralists and bushrangers will entertain you along the Murray Heritage Trail. Beautifully preserved paddlesteamers still ply the waters at Echuca Moama, Mildura and Swan Hill, while historic towns and museums along the way showcase the importance of the Murray to a developing nation. Looking for a memorable family holiday? The Murray is a natural family attraction offering riverside camping among the River Red Gums, swimming, fishing, boating, biking and plenty more diversions for kids and the young at heart along the way. Jump in your car and take the family on a road trip along the Murray. Golf more your thing? The Murray boasts some of Australia’s finest architect-designed courses, studding both sides of the river like emeralds on a silver necklace. Want to escape into nature?

Notes on Blandowski 4. Notes on our Pre-history 5. Nesting Habits – Nankeen Night-herons 6. Our Topography 7. Western Gerygones 8. Species Sub-species 9. Grey Fantails 10 Excerpts from “The Emu” 11. Outing to Ron Gol/Garston 12. Duck Shooting at Merbein Common 13. Article in “Mildura Living” Fork-tailed Swifts e have had a series of storm-fronts or upper-level troughs passing through our district in late-January, early-February. On 22nd of January several of Mildura BirdLife’s members W saw Fork-tailed Swifts flying over parts of Sunraysia during the day. This day was quite humid with cloud covering, coinciding with a weather front passing through. This combination seems to attract the birds to visit our area occasionally – seemingly, perhaps, around once per year. One such visit was around 1961 when John Hobbs, the late ornithologist from our area, recorded seeing some 90,000 around the Dareton/Gol Gol area. This sighting was mentioned to me by Professor Michael Tharburton who is conducting an extensive study into the species but I couldn’t find any other reference to the sighting in the old editions of the “Emu” or elsewhere. This swift species is highly nomadic and appears to use air currents to assist it in its perpetual search for its food-source - flying insects. Bird enthusiasts record its appearance at, seemingly, random locations and times all around Australia.
