The Murray River is Australia’s longest river, stretching over 2,500 kilometres from the Snowy Mountains to its mouth in South Australia. A lifeblood for the nation, it supports around 40% of Australia’s agricultural output and is rich in history and culture. For First Nations peoples, including the Yorta Yorta, Wiradjuri, and Barkindji, the river holds deep spiritual significance, shaping traditions and stories for tens of thousands of years.
Today, the Murray River is both a peaceful retreat and an aquatic playground, offering endless opportunities for relaxation and adventure. Kayak among ghostly river red gums, spot graceful birds in protected wetlands, or savour a riverside picnic with fresh local produce. Step back in time aboard a historic paddle steamer or indulge in a sunset dinner cruise as the river glows gold.
