Distance Table

Stores, distances & coordinates below are only approximations from using various maps and online tools, but should be accurate enough for the trip.

Coordinates will generally be at a takeout point or bridge for most locations. Various reports suggest views of some small towns could be obscured by the river banks, so some care needs to be taken while navigating down the river.

Note that there are some slight differences to the Blue Sign distance markers found on the river, but these are usually minor.

The following table shows all of the major towns beside the river along with a couple key put-in and take-out points at either end. Due to the large number of smaller towns along the river, we have created three sub-pages that contain a more detailed distance table for each subregion:

River
Upper Murray Distances

The source to Albury

River
Riverina Distances

Albury to Mildura

River
The Mallee Distances

Mildura to the Southern Ocean

From a paddlers holistic perspective, the key distances to the ocean are:

Source
2,497 km
Bringenbrong
2,356 km
Towong
2,342 km
Hume Dam
2,143 km
Echuca
1,656 km
Wentworth
826 km

For those that are self-supported below Bringenbrong, the longest leg without supplies is Wentworth to Renmark at 258 km. There are four other long legs that only have one or more smaller stores for supplies along the way; Bringenbrong bridge to Albury (241 km), Tocumwal to Echuca (171 km), Swan Hill to Robinvale (260 km), and Waikerie to Mannum (233 km).

Where the river separates two towns on either side of the river, Albury/Wodonga, Yarrawonga/Mulwala, Echuca/Moama, Renmark/Paringa, etc, only the larger town is shown.

Tap or hover your mouse over a table cell to show the estimated number of days it will likely take between two locations.

*No facilities
†Limited supplies such as a roadhouse, caravan park or small store

Other towns are in bold and should have one or more supermarkets.

The distances were calculated from what I expect the path down the river most people would take. This is ~45 km shorter than the original course of the river that is still navigatable today. These deviations are noted here if you are interested in the details. A significant reduction in the overall distance can be acheieved by straightlining across Lake Hume and Mulwala, cutting corners and by taking smaller cuttings in high flows.
