My partner found in our local library at the weekend an interesting softcover book "Riverfolk - Life along the Murray" by Allan M Nixon. Not something you would expect to find in a rural New Zealand library but an interesting read never the less with some great stories and some good images of paddlers. Cheers, Ian.

Haven't had the chance to read it in full, but it was the most recent addition to my collection as well. Lots of different stories from not just river boaters but lots of different people up and down the river if I remember correctly.
