EXPLORE BY RIVERBOAT


TRAVEL VIA A RIVER LOCK AND STEAM UP THE CLUTHA RIVER VISITING RIVERSIDE COMMUNITIES ALONG THE WAY
 

--------------------


Murchison County makes use of all its forms of transport.
The river steamer has been a major means of shipping content out of the region to the east.

Today we will take the river cruise from Colyton up through the river lock on the steamship RMS Segwun. Its a holiday so there's no work happening on the wharves ... time for a leisurely river cruise to take in some sightseeing.


        - First we will need to swing around the island and head for the lock beside the lower Clutha waterfall.

               
*** Navigate To Trackmark ... River Lock Bottom

        - Now close the doors on the lock (click on the red arrows when you hover the mouse over the lock). Once the doors close the water level and boat will lift to the river level.
        - Next we will steer up river and stop at some of the wharves on the river.
       
                *** Navigate To Trackmark ... Burkes Creek Wharf


                *** Navigate To Trackmark ... Rutherglen Wharf


                *** Navigate To Trackmark ... Cascade Wharf

                *** Navigate To Trackmark ... Wynton Wharf

 

                *** Navigate Via Trackmark ... Burkes Creek River Loop

                *** Navigate To Trackmark ... River Lock Top

        - The lock should be in the up river position so steer the boat in and close the doors on the lock. Once the doors close the water level lower to the lower water level.
        - Now steer back to the Colyton Wharf.


                *** Navigate To Trackmark ... Colyton Wharf


If you prefer to run the steamboat in the background while you operate the trains then take it up to Burkes Creek wharf and let it go.
It will loop up and down the river without any need to interact with it.
