Murray Valley irrigation project sets vast growth path
John Callander profiles a sweeping Murray River irrigation initiative stretching 1000 miles from Albury to Lake Alexandrina. He surveys key settlements Cadell, Waikerie, Berri, Renmark, Curlwaa, Good Night, Mildura and parallels with curlwan drainage, Chaffey origins, and marketing reforms. The series argues irrigation will diversify crops, boost citrus and dried fruits, and create a continuous modern system across Victoria, New South Wales, and South Australia.
