Albury/ woodonaga? Mildura? Echuca/ moama? Wangaratta? Those are cities and there’s more, Shepparton? Btw these are not arid places except for Mildura but not sure how Mildura can be classed as arid either when it grows the countries oranges and lemons but I guess it is kinda arid, arid with a lot of water? 😂😂😂

@MatthewTheWanderer define a major city? 2.5 million people live along the Murray irrigated area, Albury/ woodonga has 100,000 people alone, that’s a city, it’s no Melbourne or Sydney but there’s another 5 or 6 of them downstream too, a lot of people live on and rely on the Murray/ darling basin.

@FactSpark that’s not completely true, it’s really only arid once it hits western vic/ Mildura area. I would challenge you to rethink your comment as the bulk of the Murray flows through alpine and temperate green fertile farmland, quite literally the opposite of arid 😂 Albury/ woodonga, Shepparton, Wangaratta are some of the coldest, greenest, wettest places in the country 😂

@MatthewTheWanderer yeah there’s no Cairo or Sydney on it, I get it but for farming land, 2.5 million is still a lot of people scattered along its entire stretch. It’s not like the Darling river for example which has almost nobody living along it. We’re a small country in general so we don’t really have any “ major cities” anywhere in Aus tbh
