REGION: Murraylands

scenic-view-murray-river.jpg

Australia's mighty Murray River winds its way through the heart of the Murraylands, carving out steep sandstone cliffs that turn deep orange at sunset; winding past giant red gums and weeping willows; and spilling its banks to create wide, wild lagoons.

You can paddle a canoe through quiet backwaters; charter your own houseboat, from budget to budget-breaking luxury; take a five-night cruise on the PS Murray Princess and the Proud Mary; or take a short day trip out from the historic river ports of Mannum and Murray Bridge.

Agriculture is vital to the Big River Country. There are dozens of citrus and fruit orchards, vast vineyards and acres of rich dairy country. Many travellers find seasonal work fruit and grape picking.

Many of the best attractions in the Murraylands are within an easy hour's drive of Adelaide.
