Locations along the river
have been identified in a Google Earth Placemark
file. The
placemark file
can either be downloaded as a file, or used as a
network link by the Google Earth program. If you download the file, you can use it even when you aren't connected to the Internet, but if you set it as a network link, you will need to be connected to the Internet, but you will always get the latest version available If you have placemarks that you think would like to include in this file, please send your placemark file to the webmaster and your work will be included (with acknowledgement).

On-Line Mapping Services |
|
The South

Governments each provide an on-line Geographic
Information System (GIS) that can provide
valuable information to river users. Probably
one of the most useful services is the mapping
services that allow you to plot maps of the
river and the surrounding towns and country
side. Some, such as the Victorian Government
site sells 1:30,000 topographical maps on-line Unfortunately, the programs used to select and displays the maps varies between the states, but with a bit of practice, they are easy enough to drive. |

Murray River Pilot covers the area between
the Mouth of the Murray/Coorong to the border.

river, but it also provides a fascinating
insight into the history of the river and its

|
River Murray Charts |
 The
River Murray charts cover the Murray River upstream of
Renmark in a similar manner to the Murray River
Pilot. It is a larger format than the Pilot and
the stapled binding allows the maps to be laid
out flat when using them. |
