About this ebook
One hundred million years ago, Australia rose from the sea. The water drained from the highlands, and formed the rivers of today.
The Murray River meanders across the landscape. It has had its course blocked several times by the rising new continent. It has created megalakes and forests, has provided homes for many species of wildlife, and lives in the legends of the indigenous people.

How big is a Murray River cod?
How old is the Murray River?
How long can a River Red Gum Tree live?
Why was the Psyche Pump Station built?
Find out the answers to these questions and more and amaze your family and friends with these fun facts.
Ages 8 and up.
All measurements in American and metric.
