Rivers traverse much of our landscape, and are intrinsically woven into our history, culture and identity. For many Australians, rivers can evoke memories of swimming, fishing, canoeing, camping and time spent enjoying the tranquility of nature. Each river carries its own unique identity, whether its flow is perennial or seasonal, whether it has banks thick with trees or dry with sparse vegetation. The uniqueness of a river’s identity helps forge the identities of those who connect to it, and can flood us with nostalgia, dreaming and stories to share. - Jessica Holliday
