Interesting facts about this location
Marne River (South Australia)
The Marne River is the major tributary from the eastern Mount Lofty Ranges into the Murray River in South Australia. Before 1917, it was called the Rhine River South. Due to anti-German sentiment during World War I, it was renamed after the Marne River of France, an important battle site of the war. The Marne's headwaters are around Eden Valley and Springton, and it passes through Cambrai before flowing into the Murray at Wongulla.
