Many of the Speewah
legends revolve
around Crooked
Mick who it
is said formed the mighty Murray river.
How?
I hear You say.
Well
it was said that Mick
was running across the mighty Speewah
station
(which
by the the way is so
big its bigger than Texas)
when
he had to jump over a
fence
well he
nearly made it
as he jumped over the fence
some
of the wire wrapped
itself around his leg
but
because he was running
so fast it was said
he
pulled out the
posts for 5 miles
which
all joined together
and dug themselves
into
the ground
and
by the time the team had
caught up to him well
he
had formed the mighty
Murray river. hey maybe next time I can tell
you about the one that got away when I was fishing.....
