Everything you need to know about tourism in The Mighty Murray

Tumbling from its source in the High Country, the Murray is one of the world's great rivers, flowing through river red gum forests, wetlands teeming with birdlife, rich agricultural land and busy river towns. Here is your chance to discover the charm of the paddle steamer era, when the Murray was a vital transport system, linking the inland to the coast. Activities abound - pick fruit, sample wine, hire a houseboat or try catching the famous Murray Cod. The Murray is also famous for its many high quality golf courses. Explore the Murray from the paddle steamer capital of Australia, Echuca-Moama. From here you can take a cruise or hire a houseboat - paddle steamers and riverboats still pull into its historic wharf. Bask on the sunny shores of Lake Mulwala. Corowa, also has a colourful history associated with its role as a river port and the centre of agriculture in the region.
