Go across the Nullabor until you get to Midland Junction, head down to Pinjarra where the Murray River flows past the town, follow it into the Williams ,
Or go to Cardwell North Qld and you'll cross the Murray River just South of Tully.. .....
As for the BIG Murray River I reackon you would be pushing your luck, at a guess the Govt' and greenies would have that all locked up being in the Kosciuszko National Park, Looking on my Garmin Mapsource the nearest track is Cowombat Flat Track,

Hi Haminator,
We're planning a similar trip, but have not been able to find the coordinates for the actual source. (I believe there is a carin to mark the spot).
Did you find the coordinates?
If you have run the trip, what were the tracks like?


Cheers,


GUVan

Here is a few photos of what you will find.
I didn't take these pictures a friend of mine did and gave me copies.
They were taken during the expidition to re establish the Black - Allan line which is the straight bit of the Vic/NSW border and it obviously starts at the begining of the Murray River.

The access is resstricted and you will have to walk in from the Cowombat Flat Track.

Cheers
