REGION: Riverland
This region features about 300km of the Murray River, one of the world's great waterways, meandering through a changing landscape. Not only does the river dominate the region's landscape, it also influences its economy - providing the life-blood to irrigate its many orchards and vineyards. Riverland produces close to half of South Australia's wine grapes and is becoming increasingly known as a wine area in its own right. Riverland is the heart of the fruit bowl of South Australia, where more than 90% of the state's citrus, stone fruit and nuts are grown; local produce can be sampled from stalls along the roadside. There is no better way to explore the might of the Murray River than by travelling on it - houseboats fully equipped with home comforts are an ideal holiday option. The river is ideal for anglers, where catches of the day include Murray cod, redfin and callop. Riverland is dotted with tiny towns rich in the history of pioneering days. This is a fragile region that offers much to explore. |
