The Darling Descent ’82 was the longest journey ever made on a river in Australia. It was first time the Darling River had been fully navigated. It was the first time Australia's longest river had ever been navigated.
Six boats powered 3500 kilometres down the Darling River in just 114 hours in March 1982 to complete a journey that had never before been made (though some had tried) and it has never been repeated nor ever will.
One of Australia's great boat journeys was filmed for a Channel 9 news feature.
