Nature Reserve and walking track- Junction Island

Junction Island is the shoal of land between the Darling and Murray Rivers.

The junction sandbar is where a large number of aborigines, armed with spears and weapons, threatened Captain Sturt as he sailed down the Murray on his expedition to find the inland sea, and here he had arrived at the Darling junction.

Luckily the aboriginals were calmed down by four aboriginals from across the river whom Sturt had befriended earlier and therefore the 'intruders' presence was accepted.

A canoe tree is also located along the trail that leads to the point. Flora, fauna, wildlife and birdlife abound within this island reserve.
