Murray River

The Murray River is one of South Australia's favourite aquatic playgrounds.

It's a place where citrus fruits and stone fruits are grown in lush fields, where the river courses through deep limestone canyons, where world class wines are grown alongside wetlands filled with wildlife.

There's fresh fish, fresh food, and the fresh spray of river water as you waterski behind a jet boat. Even the simple pleasure of sitting on the banks of the river with a fishing line and a cold drink is something refreshing.

And of course, there are plenty of opportunities to go bushwalking, or enjoy an old-fashioned singalong by the fire at a camping site.

Then there's nothing that quite compares to a holiday on a houseboat, cruising up and down the river at your leisure in your own floating hotel.

It's a big river - and a big playground. Everything about the Murray reinvigorates your senses, leaving you feeling fresh too.
