Hi, does anyone know if it is possible to get to the border point of these NSW, Vic and SA? I hear this is on private property. Any info would be great. Thanks.

Probably the best and closest bet these days is to come in from the
Chowilla Game Reserve on the other side of the river from
Renmark. There a some great camping spots on the Hancock and Chowilla Creeks which would provide easy access to the Murray. I'm not sure of what the boating regs are on the reserve though. From there it's a fairly short hop by boat up stream. It's many years since I did it and we came downstream in tinnies from
Mildura. Lock nine at Cullulleraine would be another option but a much longer trip.
The old Riverboat navigation maps are a great help and still available at many tourist/souvenir shops along the river. Makes it easy to avoid all the creeks, billabongs and horseshoe bends. There are still navigation marks and mileage markers along the river. Otherwise, take your GPS.
We were unable to get into the river around
Kulkyne last week due to the high water levels. With the river still on the rise, it might
well be a trip for next year.
Cheers,
Mick

You should keep your "tinnies" in a fridge. Far better tan in the river.
