Murray River, Lakes and Coorong

It feeds the vines, the orchards, the floodplains. It’s home to pelicans gliding low over the water, fishers waiting patiently for a bite and the Ngarrindjeri people, whose stories have been carried by these currents for thousands of years.

But beyond what it gives, the river invites you in. To drift downstream on a houseboat, camp along its banks or paddle into the quiet, still waters of the Coorong. To wake with the sun reflecting off the water and end the day with the scent of a campfire curling into the night air. For a place that gives so much, the Murray asks for very little in return—just that you slow down and move with it.
