439E The tranquil waters of the Murrumbidgee River near the Australian outback town of Hay in the state of New South Wales counter the common perception that the outback is merely an arid desert wilderness. While much of the region is unquestionably barren and dry, rivers, such as the Murrumbidgee, slice through the landscape to create, here and there, a secluded oasis, a natural environment that enables wildlife to survive in an otherwise desolate and inhospitable region. Human visitors to the region are also attracted to the river to camp in the bush, to fish, and to enjoy the solitude and beauty of inland Australia.
