Is that ‘Loch Ness’ on the Murray River?
Did you know that the Murray River has its very own 'Loch Ness'?
Just kidding! We don't have such mythical monsters in the Murray River, but we do have emus that can swim up to 50 kilometers/hour!
Amazing Wildlife Encounters
Guides, Tony and Kym, spotted something strange in the water while out inspecting the walking route this week. It looked a bit like a fast swimming tree branch but as they grew closer, they saw it was an emu!
It's not uncommon to see emus crossing the Murray River, their long powerful legs make them very apt swimmers, and we see them occaisionally while on tour.
