River anabranch in Victoria, Australia
The Little Murray River , an anabranch of the Murray River and part of the Murray–Darling basin , is located in the Mallee district of north western Victoria , in eastern Australia .
Location and features
The anabranch leaves the Murray River near Fish Point and flows generally northwest in a highly meandering course , joined by the Loddon River , before it rejoins the Murray near Swan Hill , descending 17 metres (56 ft) over its 46 kilometres (29 mi) course. Little Murray River and the Murray River enclose Pental Island .[ 2]
The traditional custodians of the land surrounding Little Murray River, the Aboriginal people of the Wemba-Wemba clan, called the river Parnimilli , meaning "little river".[ 1] It is also known as the Marraboor River .[ 3]
Two bridges cross the river to Pental Island, at Swan Hill in the west, and on Fish Point Road at Fish Point in the east.
