The water of the Murray flows through several terminal lakes that fluctuate in salinity (and were often fresh until recent decades) including Lake Alexandrina and The Coorong before emptying through the Murray Mouth into the southeastern portion of the Indian Ocean, often referenced on Australian maps as the Southern Ocean, near Goolwa.
Air dari Sungai Murray mengalir melalui beberapa danau terminal yang berfluktuasi dalam salinitas (dan seringkali tawar sampai dekade baru-baru ini) termasuk Danau Alexandrina dan The Coorong sebelum bermuara melalui Murray Mouth ke bagian tenggara Samudra Hindia, yang sering disebut pada peta Australia sebagai Samudra Selatan, dekat Goolwa.
