The Murray River Region

With a total length of over 2,500 kilometres and spanning three states, the mighty Murray River flows from its upper reaches at Kosciusko National Park to its mouth at the Great Southern Ocean. The South Australian section of the Murray commences at the Victorian border near Yamba, and carves an ancient path to the sea at the historic river port of Goolwa, just over an hour south-east of the state’s capital, Adelaide.

Along its banks you’ll discover spectacular landscapes which provide a watery refuge for an abundance variety of birdlife, wildlife and plant species. As it slowly winds its way towards the ocean, the river lazily meanders past towering golden limestones cliffs, stately red river gums, fertile farmlands and historic townships. The astounding natural diversity of this ancient landscape makes it the perfect location for a holiday spent exploring at your own pace.
