Coloured Sand

Coloured Sand

The cliffs along the Murray River offers stunning views and is one of the most photographed scenes in the region because of its ever changing colours. 

This painting captures those exact moments and also brings back so many memories during my childhood. When the whole family would go camping, some of us kids would go down to play near the river on the cliffs for fun as we’d jump off the cliffs onto soft sand. We’d call this special place ‘coloured sand’.

These magnificent cliffs formed some of the most beautiful places and are made of sandstone. They bring out some of the most striking colours of the red, orange and yellow. It is estimated to be around 3-6 million years old and no matter what time of the day it is, the view promises to be spectacular.

The outlook from the river is equally beautiful and can be enjoyed via boat, canoe, kayak or as you pass by on your houseboat adventure.
