[QUOTE="gcause, post: 150150, member: 1497"] Statement still stands. Do your research. I'll give you a hint the Murray River wasn't called the Murray River when they first found it and it didn't become known as the Murray River until a long time after that. Research the towns, including Ghost towns, remember most towns in Australia owe their existence to Goldfields. A good town to research as a starting point is Mobilong now known as Murray Bridge. Check out the video here it shows you how towns develop over time and change names making research that bit more difficult: [url]http://www.salife7.com.au/murraylands/places/historical/murray-bridge----the-town--the-river-and-the-bridge-itself[/url] Best of luck :D [/QUOTE]
