The longest river in the country, it is also responsible for the great food bowl of South Australia, with its rich landscapes supporting all manner of crops including citrus, stone fruit, almonds, olives, grapes, vegetables and more. The stretch of the Murray River in South Australia is also home to charming historic pubs which dot the riverbanks, serving up the incredible local produce of the region. Discover the pioneering history of the region dating back to the 1800s and surround yourself with the native flora and fauna endemic to the area. Take in the views on a stately paddle steamer, a throwback to the region’s pioneering history, or captain your own houseboat and wake to the sound of birdsong. Canoe, swim, jet ski and fish through the day. At night, sit back and watch the stars. Designated as a Dark Sky Reserve in 2019, this is one of the best places in the world to discover the night sky. South Australia’s Murray River is broad and beautiful – a haven for wildlife, a playground for people and a rewarding destination for those who want to unwind and go with the flow. Follow the journey of Australia’s largest river and explore its people, its wildlife and its magic.
