The photo above was taken by Miss Eagle (Brigid Walsh) in August 2006.

It shows the junction of Australia's iconic rivers, the Murray and the Darling,

at Wentworth, New South Wales.

 
Welcome to the Australian Water Network

Water is our lifeblood.
Water is the biggest part of who we are.
Without water we die.
Without water our planet dies.
~~~~
We are letting our rivers run dry.
If we did that to our bodily system,
we would be dead.
Why don't we see and understand the death of our rivers,
our planet's sustenance and being?
~~~~
