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.

Howlong
If you’re into history, there’s a really great walking tour of this small but important colonial-era town (maps available at Visitor Info Centres in the region). If you lived in Melbourne in 1838 and sent a letter to your friend in Sydney, this is where the rider would cross on his horse (always a him), trying to make sure the saddlebags didn’t get too wet.
The river is still a big focus of life in Howlong today. If you like to spend a day fishing, it’s a classic spot to catch THE classic fish – the Murray Cod.
If you’re like the rest of us, it’s still a charming little place with a couple of pubs, a very nice golf course, and two great riverside parks that are tailor-made for picnics in the sun. While away a day enjoying the quiet life.
