Historia
haririKwa maelfu ya miaka, Mto Murray umejulikana kwa Waaustralia asilia waliouita kwa majina yao kama vile Millewa na Tongala.
Mto huo uliitwa Mto wa Hume baada ya kutembelewa na wapelelezi wa Ulaya Hamilton Hume na William Hovell mnamo Novemba 1824. Baadaye lilibadilishwa kwa kuita mto kwa jina la mwanasiasa Mwingereza, Sir George Murray.
Usafiri kwenye mto ulikuwa na ugumu mwanzoni kwa sababu mdomo wa Murray baharini haina kina ya kutosha kwa meli kuingia mtoni. Tangu mwaka 1853 meli ndogo zilipelekwa barani zikaanzisha usafiri wa mtoni. [1]
Mto ulikuwa muhimu sana kwa kubeba watu na bidhaa hadi kujengwa kwa reli. Kufikia mwaka 1900 biashara ya mtoni ilikuwa imekwisha tena. [2]
