On 4 April 2020, local readers went for a literary river walk along the Murray in Mildura.

This walk invited members of the public to encounter the rich and diverse literary history of the river through situated readings of poetry, prose and local history.

It began at the James Belsar Reserve and proceeded along the river for a distance of 1.3km, concluding with the opportunity for coffee and conversation at Spoons Riverside cafe.

This event was part of the Reading/Writing the Mallee research project which is sponsored by the Swan Hill Regional Library, Deakin University and RMIT University.

It all begins with an idea.
