Passage of Time
Passage of Time
Road trips are all about the stories, the ones you’re about to make but also the ones already passed through the generations. The Murray is home to thousands of years of culture and plays a key part in the Australia you know today. No spoilers, it starts here.

Lodgings
Morning to night the Murray River Road changes. You’ll need to slow down to do it right. See it in every hue, hear the different sounds, immerse yourself in your journey – you can’t do it in one day.
Go on… get a room…
Admittedly – this is where things get tricky. There’s just too many options. There’s charming homestays, secluded eco lodges, luxurious floating houseboats, independent hotels and motels right in the heart of things, the upstairs of a country pub, a tent by the water, cabins and caravans in cabin and caravan parks. Overwhelmed? We’ve not even scratched the surface yet.
Mix it up, make an adventure of it and make that special place under your sheets part of your Murray River Road story.
Albury and Wodonga
Art and culture, restaurants and cycling tracks, and a launch-pad to aqua fun at Lake Hume. Albury Wodonga is bustling, and features boutique hotels aplenty.
Echuca and Moama
Enjoy colonial history central at the Echuca Wharf, and explore the region’s waterways and wineries. If you’re not on a houseboat, you’re probably at a small hotel or riverside resort or campground.
Mildura and Wentworth
Remote enough to be it’s own world, Mildura boasts classy food and luxe lodgings, while Wentworth is a more low-key staging ground for visits to the ethereal Mungo National Park.
Swan Hill and Lake Boga
Artistic, diverse and bang in the middle of Australia’s food bowl, Swan Hill is just a short drive to the holiday playground of Lake Boga. Caravan parks are the crowd favourite in these parts.
Yarrawonga, Mulwala and Corowa
Lake Mulwala is surrounded by golf resorts and budget hotels – truly something for everyone. Down the road, Corowa offers a wide range of overnight options as a stepping stone to Rutherglen wine country.
