If a river could talk, what would it tell you? Get on board and get ready to get wet.
An ambitious adventure, microphones in hand, in a world of sound, science and sonication.
Two guys. Two kayaks. And 2,500 kilometers to paddle along the mighty Murray River.
From its source in the form of a net in the middle of the snowcaps of Mount Kosciuszko in Ngarigo country, NSW … to its meeting point with the sea in the Coorong in Ngarrindjeri country, South Australia.
And in the end, a mission from Meredith Hope to help the controversial Murray speak for himself.
