A journal entry by Sir Thomas Mithell, circa 1846
“…and soon came upon the river, where it formed a noble reach of water…as fine a looking stream as I have seen in the colony, excepting only the Murray… raised my hopes that this river might be found to come from the NW, a direction it maintained for 5 miles. The breadth was uniform and the vast body of water a cheering site. The banks were 120 yards apart, the course in general was very straight, contributing much to the scenery upon it…”
Murray Cod, Yellowbelly and Jewfish are amongst the many fluvial delights found in the river.
Full Moon cruise available too! Conditions apply. Birdwatching tours available…. Over 230 species of bird can be found within a 100km radius of St George.
