Viewing tower at confluence of the Murray and Darling Rivers

  3. Viewing tower at confluence of the Murray and Darling Rivers
Address:
Cadell Street, Wentworth NSW, Australia, Wentworth
Description:

The junction of Australia’s two longest rivers, the Murray and the Darling

Climb the viewing tower and see the confluence of the Murray and Darling Rivers, which, combined, is the fourth largest river system in the world. When the Darling is in flow, a surprise awaits -as the two rivers are marked by a distinct colour difference viewable from the tower. The Darling is a clay based river, its milky appearance contrasts starkly to that of the mighty Murray. Truly one of Australia’s iconic must-see attractions.

You can climb up to the viewing tower and look down upon the confluence of the two majestic rivers, take a leisurely stroll along the walking track, take advantage of the facilities on offer for a barbecue or picnic or simply read up on the history of the Darling River in the pictorial information in the gazebo.
