I Dianne and Mickam happy to announce that our Murray River Source to Sea support team is now complete with my father joining us. My father is thrilled to be our driver for the duration of the expedition. My dad has driven trucks all his life and I know he is proud to be supporting us in our adventures.

The Murray River holds a special place in my father’s heart as his own father often went fishing and hunting at Mathoura, which has become one of my most magical locations along the Murray. I deeply look forward to visiting this place with my father when we travel through Mathoura and reminiscing on the stories about my grandfather’s adventures.

I sadly never got to meet my grandfather due to his early passing so look forward to seeing this part of the river through the lens of our family history.

Dianne & MickAs a child we also owned a family boat and spent many hours on rivers and the ocean. So I know it is with great joy that my father will witness his daughter travel the length of the Murray River. I believe it is through family traditions that we renew our spirit as we imagine what our ancestors felt, dreamed and hoped while engaging in the similar activities. It is with this sentiment that I equally hope my children and grandchildren one day stand on the shores of the Murray River and cast their minds to imagine what may have stirred in my heart viewing the same landscape.

So welcome to the team Dad. I look forward to building upon the many memories already cemented throughout my childhood and over the years as we have welcomed new family members, grandchildren and more recently your first great grandchild. I know we are all going to have an amazing time and who knows we even get lucky and catch a fish or two.
