The river is still looking good. Late July it started to widen again, just under the early September 2010 level. Nice vid too BTW 8)

This is beautiful.

Yes rod, you are correct. It is the River Nurray flag displayed on almost all paddle wheelers and ships that ply the Murray

Not being familiar with Australian flags, what does the flag on the bow represent? Also, I love the sound of steam whistles, one of them sounds much like the whistles on North American steam locomotives.

@wmralder The only info that comes to hand quickly is that it is the Murray River flag.

Great stuff! Sailed(?) on both on different visits down under.

Wasn't it nice of the galahs to make such an accompaniment to your video.

[Rocketboy1950]

@Lapune The truth is that there was a howling wind during most of the shoot. A lot of sound editing took place to get the paddle wheels sloshing in all the right places and..........the parrots and galahs were recorded in that same spot the previous day.
