Arriving at lock 11 is the PS  'Melbourne' launched in 1912 at Koondrook on the Murray river. We had set out for an afternoon drive to explore some of the 13 locks and 15 weirs along the Murray bur arrived just in time to see the Melbourne arrive at  lock 11 on it's way upstream. It was quite amazing to see the water rise some 3.7m so when it arrives the passengers  on the lower level rise to ground level and the one's on upper deck are 'flying high'

This picture shows the Melbourne leaving the lock, the total time taken was about 30min so all on board could move on towards Mildura and carry on with their holiday.
Lock 11 park has become a popular cultural hub, hosting events such as Opera by the Lock.
