The Murray River in south-eastern Australia has been a significant barrier to land-based travel and trade. This article lists and briefly describes all of the recognised crossing points. Many of these had also developed as river ports for transport of goods along the Murray. Now almost every significant town along the river has a bridge or vehicle-carrying cable ferry nearby. The crossings are listed in order starting from the Murray Mouth and proceeding upstream. ==South Australia== As the ferries are registered as boats, each one has a name, usually named after a waterbird. As of August 2010, the ferry names are: *Narrung: ''Pelican'' *Wellington: ''Water Hen'' *Tailem Bend: ''Gull'' *Mannum large (downstream): ''Swan'' *Mannum (small, upstream): ''Avocet'' *Purnong: ''Kingfisher'' *Walker Flat: ''Stilt II II'' *Swan Reach: ''Albatross II'' *Morgan: ''Coot'' *Cadell: ''Ibis'' *Waikerie: ''Quail'' *Lyrup: ''Plover'' 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「List of crossings of the Murray River」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
