Pretty in Pink.

The translucence of the salt layers
as they build up each time there is
a new flow of water into the lake.

The pink comes from a combination
of salt tolerant algae and bacteria
that produce red pigments to
protect themselves from the sun.

The algae produces beta-carotene.

Photography Workshop.

What is the Barmah Choke?
The Barmah Choke is known locally as 'The Narrows' and, as the name suggests, it's a section of the river that naturally constricts to around 20% of its upstream capacity.
'The Narrows' is found in the Barmah-Millewa Forest, north of Echuca-Moama. The Aboriginal name for The Narrows is Dunggula.
This 'narrowing' , downstream from Picnic Point, naturally constricts flows from the Murray River causing water to spill out onto the Barmah-Millewa Forest floodplain and pushes water into the Edward River (an anabranch of the Murray) upstream from Picnic Point.
'The Narrows' provide a unique challenge for river operators who must consider channel capacity alongside a range of other factors when managing water in the system for downstream uses.

Did you know that Murray Irrigation, Australia's largest private irrigation company has a hydro power station.
The hydro power station known as The Drop, is located on the Mulwala Canal half between Finley and Berrigan. At this location the Canal divides in two, one section heads North towards Jerilderie and the other section heads West to Deniliquin. At the Western section the natural surface drops five metres hence the name The Drop, it is here that the power station has been built using gravity and water to spin the turbine producing REAL green electricity.
In the photo the hydro station is the rectangle hole on the left and the concrete structure on the right is the regulator to control the water flow downstream.

I had the pleasure along with Murray Off Road Adventures of show casing our region to a group of international tourism experts in Australia for the Australian Tourism Exchange. Hopefully they will take home some great memories and recommendations for our region.
