Narrated by Tony Barry, one of Australia’s most distinguished and highly respected actors, Rivers of Australia: A Journey Along the Murray is a unique feature-length documentary that follows two southern adventurers – James Livingstone and Albany Asher, along with their faithful canine companions ‘Onyx’ and ‘Rocco’ – on an awe-inspiring kayaking journey along Australia’s longest river, the Murray.
The Murray River is the life-blood of Australia. Spanning 2,756 kilometres across three southern states of Australia, one would expect such a large river system to be one of the most well-known and visited locations in the land down-under. But nothing could be further from the truth. The majesty of the Murray is unknown to the vast majority of the world’s population, and hence James and Albany endeavour to take the audience on an epic (and very real) journey to meet Australia’s longest river; revealing its beauty and its charms, to meet the salt-of-the-Earth river dwellers, to explore conservation projects and innovations that benefit the river, to learn of its history, the townships, the indigenous culture, the wildlife, the science and engineering … to take the audience somewhere they have never been before. From Bringenbrong Bridge in New South Wales, to The Coorong in South Australia, Rivers of Australia: A Journey Along the Murray is an epic adventure of grandeur - two kayaks, two explorers, two cattle dogs, and one mighty Murray River!
