| Summary | "The Murray River: Being a Journal of the Voyage of the 'Lady Augusta' Steamer" by Arthur Kinloch is a historical account written in the mid-19th century. This work chronicles a significant expedition undertaken on the River Murray, detailing the journey of the steamer "Lady Augusta" as it traverses from Goolwa in South Australia to Gannewarra, a considerable distance above Swan Hill in Victoria. The narrative likely addresses themes of exploration, navigation, and the challenges associated with early settler life in Australia, while also providing insights into the river's geography and ecology. At the start of the journal, Kinloch sets the stage for the voyage, explaining his observations about the River Murray and the importance of its navigability, particularly during the flooded seasons. He discusses the history and significance of the river, the crew and passengers aboard the vessel, and the preparations made for the expedition. The opening portion introduces the context of the journey, showcasing the natural beauty and practical challenges posed by the river as the party embarks on what promises to be an adventure of exploration and discovery in the Australian wilderness.
