The Key to the Map

1. Exit of the anabranch

2.The anabranch travels from the river into next doors place

before crossing the boundary into our place

3. It arrives onto our place with steep high banks and

numerous stringy barks trees growing in the anabranch bed

4.When we first arrived on the property this was a large dam 

formed in the anabranch bed,  filled to the brim with irrigation

water.There was a  gaggle of domestic geese that

lived on the dam.

As there was a drought we decided to let the dam dry out.

Much to our dismay our two dogs attacked the geese 

as did the foxes, so we decided to give the remaining 

geese to people that had a functioning pond  

5. Farm rubbish tip and machine storage and my container

 with my art equipment

6. A beautiful stand of river red gums, some of the trees have 

scars from removal of bark  for coolamons by the first people the 

Australian Aborigines, who may have lived along the anabranch. 

Coolamons were large carrying vessels for domestic use 

7.The road that is our boundary

8.The dirt bridge that crosses the anabranch

9.The exit back into the Murray River
