Culinary delights, sparkling waters and endless summer sun – life in abundance is life on The Murray.

Cruise downstream on an historic paddle steamer and see the past come to life at open-air museums and Indigenous cultural sites. Play captain on your own houseboat and then tee off at some of the best golf courses in the country.
