Digital PDF Filenon-fictionThis story is about how the Maribyrnong River was, how it once ran wild, and how it has changed. You will glimpse the Indigenous connections to the river and the river’s passage through early settlement, industrialisation and modern times. All the while, reflecting on its worth, not through a commercial or residential lens, but through the eyes of recreational fishers who love the river for itself. From historical newspaper articles, through piscatorial societies and angling clubs, fishers have long stood up to protect the environmental values of the Maribyrnong River. By committing their licence fees to this project, anglers are again pressing for the recovery of this wonderful river.maribyrnong river, salt river, aborginal, aborigine, first nations
