Information

Murray River crossing(?) from Grassy Flat Road.
A cut was made down the Victorian side of the river at this location to cross a Bulldozer in order to round up a fire in 1977. This was the only time the river was crossed by vehicle as this section is long & deep. In fact the D6/7 sized dozer was closed to being drowned not only due to the depth but because of the embankments in this section are of solid rock which made it very difficult for the operator to extract the Dozer from the river.
