Murray River
There's water in our Murray!
South Australia's section of the beautiful Murray River contains plenty of water for you to enjoy a river holiday, despite current low rainfalls throughout Australia.
Whether you're into high-energy watersports like waterskiing or jet boating, or prefer more laidback choices like a leisurely houseboat holiday, or fishing, the wide expanses of the Murray River are the ideal holiday playground for you.
The Murray River is an Australian icon. More than a hundred years ago, paddle steamers used to venture up and down the length of the river, transporting agricultural produce from riverside townships.
While the age of the paddle steamer trade has gone, the river towns (and a few of the steamers themselves) remain - and they'll offer you a warm welcome.
Murray River Webcam
You can take a look at our Murray River and its water levels from a houseboat webcam at Renmark and Mannum. Please note, you'll need to use Internet Explorer for this.
