The original Murray River trace was either made by swampwallaby using vmap or 
by a few of us tracing from Landsat.
The only surveyed points then would have been bridges and bridge piers.

So the admin boundary, which is definitely not the wet part of the river, is 
more accurate overall

Some can now be seen on Nearmap, and this is enough resolution to split the 
river from the admin boundary.
This might be best done by drawing in riverbanks and making areas of the 
river.
