What is an Anabranch you ask?<\/h2>\n\n- It is a waterway that leaves the main river and eventually flows back into the river some distance downstream.<\/li>\n
- The anabranches create “spiders’ webs”<\/i> across the floodplain.<\/li>\n
- They range from narrow and twisting to broad, and shallow.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
Rumpagunyah, Ral Ral and Amazon Creeks are all anabranches.<\/p>\n
From the South Australian\/Victorian \/New South Wales borders on the river down to Lock 3 is roughly 200 river kilometres. This is bordered by the sprawling anabranch system across the floodplains made up of roughly 400 kilometres of “Paddlers and Boaters Paradise.”<\/i><\/p>\n
There are 5 individual regions. Some are solitary while others flow on into the next. Each has its own unique beauty and charms that draw the paddler\/boater\/camper in.<\/p>\n
