Rufus River

Meant to also say its fairly new, wasn't there last time I went through and doesn't appear on Google Earth.

Hi Frank
It would have been magic coming down the River, that area is a favourite of ours. I could be wrong, but it sounds like a special place of Aboriginal significance and is a way of keeping unwanted people out, as I have seen similar places like that out on Lindsay Island and north of Renmark.

Cheers

G'Day Frank, I do have an answer for you on the Rufus River structure you asked about. It is part of a number of Riverfront Holiday Accommodation properties that the firm I work for is undertaking along both the Mighty Murray River & Majestic Darling River. Please check out our website www.murraydarlingriverholidays.com for some ideal private, pristine and remote locations for a relaxing holiday away from all the hustle & bustle of crowded built-up areas of the two rivers.

You would have passed Lock 9 Lodge 200 metres upstream from lock 9 itself; the next property was ten kilometres upstream from lock 7, called Elphicks Island Lodge (yes, it is actually on an island in the river), then the next one under construction along banks of the Rufus River, then the next is twenty kilometres downstream from lock 7 called Lake Victoria Station Lodge, just magnificent (7 bedrooms & 5 Bathrooms), then the next a further eight kilometres downsream called Nampoo Station adjacent the Devil's Elbow cliffs on N.S.W. side and sandbar on Victorian side in mallee Sunset National Park.

Any members who might want a week away without towing a van for a small group of between six to fifteen people, please contact me for great location at reasonable prices. linden 0427 502 664
