Murray River Region

The Murray River Attractions

The Murray River region Victoria, a few hours' drive from Melbourne is one of the most visited and appreciated parts of the country. The breathtaking sandy landscape and red gum forests complement the pristine waters of the river.

If anywhere reflects the true Australian outdoor lifestyle, it is definitely here.

Go Murray River fishing on the banks or in a boat and catch the famous Murray cod or maybe a rainbow trout.

Take one of many Murray River cruises down the tranquil waters, for a short trip, a day, or even a few days, and enjoy delicious food and wine, comfort as well as remarkable views from the deck.

Why not step back in time and enjoy a ride in a fully restored 1800's Paddle Steamer or hire a Murray River houseboat for a few days and cruise at your own leisure.

Stop at one of the fully patrolled sandy beaches for a swim, or simply lie down on the banks, relax and read a book.

4WD enthusiasts will love discovering the Australian outback via the many dirt tracks and sand dunes. Grab a map and advice from one of the Visitor Information Centres at Swan Hill or Mildura. Try The Mungo National Park route, with plenty of sandy tracks and lots to see along the way.

If you prefer a more relaxed game of golf, then the banks of the Murray are dotted with plenty of top grade courses. Why not take advantage of one of the Murray River golf packages and combine comfortable resort accommodation with your love of teeing off.
