Darling Downs!

Good Daye, Down Under Farmer: I was surprised to learn that the Darling River actually stretched up to Queensland. Many years ago I learned about the Murray River, so needless to say, I had to see it. I really enjoyed the trip through the Snowy Mountains to Canberra, up from Melbourne. That area of farmland is very similar to this area, tomatoes, corn, soybeans and of course lots of sheep.

Last weekend I went for a drive with my Dad and we crossed the Condamine river. It has been flowing for nearly a month and it is incredible to think that water may end up running into the mouth of the Murray river in South Australia. The way the weather has been it might just make it. The river rises near Killarney in Queensland & changes it's name several times as it goes down, usually at a juction. It winds about a fair bit so every time the early explorers came across it, they thought they had discovered a new river and would give it another name.

Darling Downs!
