The Murrumbidgee is one of the River Murray's tributaries. This photo was taken just out of Canberra, about a hundred kilometres from its source in the Australian Alps. The Murrumbidgee's total length is about 1600 kilometres. Murrumbidgee is an aboriginal word meaning big water.
I am posting this post from Canberra, Australia's capital, where we are on vacation at present.

ooh, nice! happy vacation!
I don't see anything in the picture to say that is Australia and not somewhere closer to home. I bet it is different close up.
Enjoy your vacation!!!
Beautiful place, Gordon!
Happy holiday Gordon.
Aboriginal words are very easy on the tongue, aren't they?
Enjoy your holiday!
I bet there aren't any crocs in this river. Have a nice holiday!
1600 kilometres is definitely "BIG WATER!"
