You are… The Roamer

You’re incapable of driving past a brown tourist sign without wondering where it leads.

An old main street deserves a wander, a tiny museum can swallow an entire afternoon and anything described as “Australia’s biggest” is obviously worth pulling over for.

Murray road trips were always full of surprises. And with so many towns along the way, chances are you only scratched the surface the first time around.

There’s still plenty left in the Murray region to surprise you.

Start your tradition

Make the detour part of the holiday. Take the long way, change your mind and don’t worry if the plan goes out the window. Big Murray Cod in Tocumwal? Pull over. A submarine in Holbrook? You’re going to need to know more. And if curiosity takes you all the way back to pioneer life in Swan Hill, follow it. Who knows. Maybe the wrong way was the right way all along.
