The Murray Visit the Murray

Welcome to the legendary Murray River region – where the range of conference and incentive options are as extensive and impressive as the region itself.

While The Murray is home to eight purpose-built conference and function venues with capacity for 1,000 plus delegates, it’s the region’s ability to deliver exceptional events in extraordinary locations that sets it apart.

Imagine a degustation dinner made from fresh local produce onboard a paddlesteamer, cruising the world’s third longest navigable river.

A gala evening under the stars on Australia’s largest inland beach or beside Victoria’s biggest salt lake. A product launch in a century old, riverfront homestead. A board meeting on a luxury houseboat floating past the world’s largest river red gum forest. The possibilities are endless.

Your delegates will be spoilt for choice with the wide variety of social activities including a round of golf on some of Australia’s top 100 courses, bespoke private tours of the region’s award-winning farmgate food producers, wineries and distilleries or an eco-cruise through internationally recognised wetlands.

In the east, Albury Wodonga offers the perfect combination of big city style and country hospitality, while Mildura Wentworth in the west combines cosmopolitan culture with outback beauty. In between, you’ll be hard pressed to beat the historic charm of Echuca Moama or the spectacular waterfront views of Yarrawonga Mulwala.

Conveniently located on the New South Wales – Victorian border and central to Adelaide, Canberra, Melbourne and Sydney, The Murray is easily accessible by air and road.
