Renmark, South Australia 5341
Renowned as the largest Barge to operate on the Murray River system, the Argo was used mainly to pump water into or out of the main river. In the 1920's, the Argo Barge was employed in the construction of the locks, weirs and barrages. It is located in the grounds of Olivewood and can be viewed at anytime, together with the acknowledgement boards for the Volunteers who dedicated so much time to the restoration of the barge.
