You are… The Skipper

For you, a holiday isn’t really a holiday unless there’s water involved.

The boat gets loaded, the fishing rods come along, bathers are permanently drying somewhere, and there’s always a kayak, jetski or riverbank calling your name.

It’s a familiar Murray rhythm: down to the water after breakfast and home when fading light or hungry stomachs finally call it. In between, time is measured by swims, slip-slap-slops and endless cries of “one more time” from the kids on the doughnut.

The good news? Days like these never went out of style on The Murray.

Start your tradition

Make “one more time” the rule of the holiday. One more swim before dinner, one more cast before packing up, one more paddle before calling it a day. Take the rule with you wherever you go, from a houseboat in Mildura to a day by the water at Cohuna. Before long, everyone will know that “one more time” is simply how Murray holidays go.
