Some Activities On The Murray

Did You Know that
The River Murray was first
discovered by Hume and Hovell, who reached it at a point above Albury in
1824. Hovell named it the Hume after Hume's father, but when Captain Sturt
made his voyage to the Murray mouth in 1830, near present day Goolwa, he
named it the Murray, after the then Secretary of State for the Colonies.
