EPA Blackwater Audits

The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) is charged with the protection of the environment in South Australia. Part of their duties is to ensure that there are no black water discharges (sewage) from boats in the Murray River. This entails examining vessels in the river for compliance to the current regulations.

The EPA has kindly provided information to the RMBOA about the check lists they use and the forms that they send to boat owners.

Riverside Astronomy

One of the most obvious things about mooring along the river away from the townships is how dark the sky is and how bright the stars are. While a large telescope would be good in these conditions, there are plenty of things to see with the naked eye or a good pair of binoculars.

The following links will provide enough resources to get you started as a Riverside Astronomer.
