This river-centric region makes a mighty road trip, whichever way you tackle it. There are no hard and fast rules. If you’re near The Murray, you’re on the right track.

Park up the van within a stone’s throw of the river, then get out and explore vast and varied landscapes from red gum forests and thriving wetlands to fertile river plains and outback frontiers.

The Murray River flows more than 2,500km through national parks teeming with wildlife, cultural heritage and walking trails. The river’s a magnet whether you choose to dive in for a bounty of water fun or sit back on a shady bank and take it all in. There’s eye candy galore: historic paddlesteamers, cruise boats, waterbirds and maybe even a platypus.

With such a glorious climate, golf’s a year-round sport on a line-up of award-winning championship courses. There’s a fairway for everyone, whether you’re a weekender or a pro.

One of Australia’s great food bowls beckons with secondto-none fresh produce, renowned wines, boutique brews, small-batch distillers and super-innovative chefs. Why not taste your way along the river?

From birdsong-filled dawns to stunning sunrises, The Murray will have your heart all-day long.
