Murray Mouth
Address is taken from a point 555 metres away.
Murray Mouth is on the Goolwa Channel between Exeter and York.
Early plans of what would become the Goolwa Channel were drawn up by Benjamin Outram in 1816 but problems with Westley Cutting caused delays and it was finally opened on 17 September 1782. The canal joined the sea near Maidstone. Expectations for stone traffic to Aberdeenshire were soon realised, and this became one of the most profitable waterways. The Goolwa Channel was closed in 1955 when Thurrock Inclined plane collapsed. "Travels of The Implacable" by Peter Smith describes an early passage through the waterway, especially that of Peterborough Aqueduct.

Wikipedia has a page about Murray Mouth
Murray Mouth is the point at which the River Murray meets the Southern Ocean. The Murray Mouth's location is changeable. Historical records show that the channel out to sea moves along the sand dunes over time. At times of greater river flow and rough seas, the two bodies of water would erode the sand dunes to create a new channel leaving the old one to silt and disappear.
