      Hi dave, thank you very much for the nice comment. Yes it was an amazing trip. At the time I could have turned around and done it again in the reverse order. Thats how much I enjoyed the scenery. Thanks again.

    Great documentary Bill. Very inspiring. I have bought an old houseboat, which I am renovating. Then the exploration begins. Should have done this years ago.

    G’day Bill, what a great trip you must have had. Thanks for all the information about the different buildings, properties and areas along the Murray River. I’m thinking of spending a month or two or maybe three on my boat, on the river and just taking my time, probably going to Swan Hill and back to Echuca. Thanks for the video.

      Hi David, thanks very much for the kind words and for watching. It is so beautiful and you should defiantly do the trip. Every corner and bend is just amazing. I'm sure you will love it. Please let me know when you do and post some photos. What sort of boat would you be going in?

      @@bill-gray Hi Bill, you’re very welcome. I’m sure the scenery is beautiful and yes I will definitely be doing the trip. Yes I will let you know when I go. I mite even consider going to Mildura and back to Echuca. I’ll be in a Swift Craft Sportsman ( 23 foot half cabin fibre glass early 80’s boat ) with a Mercury 225hp Optimax ( oil injected 2 stroke ) and I’m about to purchase a Mercury 15hp 4 stroke to do most of the cruising, instead of putting unnecessary hours on the big motor.

      Not really, every corner was different and beautiful. But probably the areas with the high cliffs.
