I just had to look this up
converted 500ppm to EC units (microSiemens per cubic metre)
and got 892
then looked at salinity tables for Australian Rivers.

Found a couple of spots with > 2000km to go to the sea with EC levels > 900
Yass River upstream Burrinjuck Dam

Jugiong Creek at Jugiong

Just as well you were only kidding, because this method isn't going to work
