SOUTHEAST OF THE MURRAY RIVER

The majestic Murray River winds west from the Great Dividing Range. Fed by a water¬shed that spans most of New South Wales and portions of Victoria, the largest water¬way in Australia slices through the southeast corner of South Australia and empties into the Southern Ocean. Fruit, especially wine grapes, flourishes along the irrigated river basin, while the Coorong, a 145km stretch of coastal lagoons, supports over 240 species of native birdlife. The towns near the Victoria border can be associated with geographic regions within mat state. The area around Naracoorte is an exten¬sion of the agricultural Wimmera district and Mount Gambier continues the themes of Victoria's southwest coast.
