Listen "1543: River Murray Boat Owners Celebrate Centenary of Lock 1"
Episode Synopsis
It was 100 years ago on April 6 that the first boat, the Captain Sturt, travelled through Lock 1 of the River Murray at Blanchetown.
The River Murray Boat Owners Association (RMBOA) is celebrating the event by placing a brass plaque on the wall of the lock on Wednesday 6 April (around 8.20am) so that each time a boat travels through the lock the people on board can recognise the extensive history of the development of the River system.
President of the Association, Roger Wickes, joins Jennie Lenman to discuss the history and what is planned for the event.
