Meru

Meru lies beside the Murray River near Moorook, where lagoons and wooded floodplains spread around bends in the river. The Ngaiawang, Ngawait and Erawirung peoples of this stretch of the Murray are sometimes collectively called Meru. Wetlands such as Wachtels Lagoon form part of the river's floodplain, providing habitat for fish and waterbirds. Farther west the Murray passes Waikerie on its way towards the sea.
