[[File:Charles Sturt Monument.jpg|thumb|right|Charles Sturt Monument located at Wagga Beach in [[Wagga Wagga, New South Wales|Wagga Wagga]]]] [[Ernest Favenc]], when writing on Australian exploration, commented on the relatively tardy European discovery of the river and that the river retained a name used by [[Indigenous Australians]]: <blockquote>Here we may remark on the tenacity with which the Murrumbidgee River long eluded the eye of the white man. It is scarcely probable that Meehan and Hume, who on this occasion were within comparatively easy reach of the head waters, could have seen a new inland river at that time without mentioning the fact, but there is no record traceable anywhere as to the date of its discovery, or the name of its finder. When in 1823 Captain Currie and Major Ovens were led along its bank on to the beautiful Maneroo country by Joseph Wild, the stream was then familiar to the early settlers and called the Morumbidgee. Even in 1821, when Hume found the Yass Plains, almost on its bank, he makes no special mention of the river. From all this we may deduce the extremely probable fact that the position of the river was shown to some stockrider by a native, who also confided the aboriginal name, and so it gradually worked the knowledge of its identity into general belief. This theory is the more feasible as the river has retained its native name. If a white man of any known position had made the discovery, it would at once have received the name of some person holding official sway.<ref>{{cite book | last = Favenc | first = Ernest | authorlink = Ernest Favenc | title = The Explorers of Australia and their Life-work | origyear = 1908 | url = http://www.gutenberg.org/files/10840/10840.txt | format = txt | accessdate = 2006-08-26 | edition = | year = 2004 | publisher = Project Gutenberg EBook | location = | pages = | chapter = Chapter 4}}</ref></blockquote> == Floods == [[File:Murrumbidgee River in major flood and historic maker showing the '74 flood 1.jpg|thumb|Murrumbidgee River in major flood in December 2010 and flood marker showing the height of the 1974 floods in Wagga Wagga]] The river has risen above {{Convert|7|m|ft|0}} at Gundagai nine times between 1852 and 2010, an average of just under once every eleven years.
