“Our Living Murray” is a photographic exhibition that traces the life of the River from Lock One to the Lower Lakes. You can see it at the Royal Adelaide Show, September 4-12. See the majesty of the old Murray, the impact of over-allocation, the lush regrowth after rains, the community working with nature and the folly of damming the tributaries.
The images speak for themselves and the Ngarrindjeri vision for country which introduces the exhibit encapsulates the hopes of all who worked on the project.
Our Lands, Our Waters, Our People, All Living Things are connected. We implore people to respect our Ruwe (Country) as it was created in the Kaldowinyeri (the Creation). We long for sparkling, clean waters, healthy land and people and all living things. We long for the Yarluwar-Ruwe (Sea Country) of our ancestors. Our vision is all people Caring, Sharing, Knowing and Respecting the lands, the waters and all living things.
