-====  Murray River  ==== 
- 
-The Murray river will involve the second construction of a vessel and the first journey. The construction will happen in Port Adelaide, transport to the launching place will be from our support team. 
- 
-===  Dates (proposed)  === 
- 
-Vessel construction and testing January 23-28, Journey 1-21 February, Parade 24 February. 
- 
-Launching around Ned's point or Lock 9. 
- 
-Travel is expected to be between 20 and 40 kilometers per day, based upon experiences of 2 similar projects. Water currents will be important. The can be found [[here]http://riversmart.net.au/Flowtracker.htm], and it seems that if we take the river to be 150m wide and 4 meters deep, the flow at the SA border is around 0.5 kmh, compared to 4-6 on the Danube. Maps of the river are available here: http://www.rmboa.org.au/maps.html 
- 
- 
-=== Vessel: === 
- 
-The vessel will be built from scavenged, recycled or otherwise low impact parts.  
-  * Plan 1 involves a lot of scrap celerytop wood to build a punt. 
-  * Plan 2 involves using scrap rowing vessels 
-  * Plan 3 involves using some old hull and extras, as the Subak in Linz. 
- 
-Sail will be a junk rig, oars will be used and possibly a Yuloh. A tentative plan for pedal power exists - details at the beginning of January. 
- 
-=== Fringe parade: === 
-Some things to bear in mind for the Fringe parade finale on 24 Feb. 
-  * All floats must not exceed 4.3m in height. This height includes the vehicle plus any parade participants on the float. 
-  * The parade will only be viewed from the east side of King William Street, so you only need to decorate the front and right side of your vehicle/float. 
-  * There will be a DJ playing throughout the parade route.
