[QUOTE="mudgee hunter, post: 459815, member: 9124"] I beleive originally a land owner who owned both sides of river, owned even the river bed. And water and fish etc in it! And the Murry river was held to ransom over paddle steamers wishing to navigate it. In a lot of Europe, you once had to pay a tax to the owner, who just happened to own a castle over looking over it. With finely tunned cannons if you wanted to try and run gauntlet without paying the tax. Dont pay the ferry man till he gets you to the otherside! A bottle of scotch or rum is a nice tax if introduced to the OWNER, before you run the gauntlet! No need to duck in fear then.... [/QUOTE]
