		This river appears to be the Irwin River of Captain Grey, as this spot is only one and a half miles to the south of the position assigned to it on Arrowsmith's map of this part of the coast.
		In addition to the fish and game formerly observed on this part of the river, we met with large flocks of the gallinule, which have for so many years excited the curiosity of the colonists as to their habitat; from subsequent observations it is evident they come from much further to the north-eastward.
		The bed of the river had gradually become more rocky as we ascended, gneiss with quartz dykes passing through it and yielding a large quantity of salt, rendered the running water of the river scarcely drinkable; the only fresh water was found in the back channels filled by the late inundations.

	Journals of Australian Explorations
		Several public as well as private expeditions were undertaken for the purpose of ascertaining whether in the interior or along the coast on either side of the settlement there existed any available country, but they had only encountered dense scrubs of acacia and eucalyptus, with salt marshes and scarcity of fresh water in the interior.
		While at the Geraldine Mine I availed myself of the circumstance of the Murchison being in flood to ascend that river and complete the sketch of the unexamined portions, as also to gain any additional information that might facilitate the exploration of the country between this and the Gascoyne River.
		The outward route was on the south bank of the river Murchison; the first sixty miles was but indifferent, but there were many spots of grass, sufficient to maintain travelling herds or flocks; afterwards the soil on the banks of the river improved and were continuously grassy, the general width being about half a mile.

	Paddle on the Murchison River in Flood
		The river had risen 3-4 metres by the end of the first week, by 7 metres at its peak during the second week, falling to 3-4 metres again by the end of the third week.
		Since the river was at a dangerously high level we decided that on Saturday we would paddle from Fourways (this is at the downstream end of the Z-Bend) down to the loop, a distance of about 20 kilometres.
		Since it appeared that the river had in fact peaked on Thursday and was now in retreat we decided that we should attempt the BIG stuff on Sunday, with a paddle from Ross Graham Lookout down to Fourways, a distance of 28 kilometres, including the famed Z-Bend section.

		Big River Ranch, 4km inland from Kalbarri (tel 08/9937 1214; pick-ups available), runs very popular horse-riding trips for beginners and the experienced alike; the three-hour sunset ride ($35), through the river, along the beach and back again, is the memorable highlight.
		It’s possible to walk round the Loop (a horseshoe bend in the Murchison River) in rather less than half the six hours suggested by the notice board, but this may be prolonged by the abundance of swimming opportunities, birdlife and the odd, mean-looking feral pig; the walk is best undertaken early in the morning.
