The Murray River runs from the north east of this region where Lyrup Flats, Bulyong Island and Katarapke Island form the Murray River National Park. This wetland area stretches from Berri to Loxton and is an important breeding ground for many native birds. You can enjoy 4WD adventuring or explore the many walking trails throughout the park. 

The climate is moderate and provides the opportunity for many outdoor activities. Canoeing, fishing, sailboarding and swimming can all be enjoyed with the comfort of a nearby houseboat.
In nearby Barmera you can saddle up your horse and enjoy the annual Country Music Festival which is held in June, of each year. 

The rich riverland area attributes its lush environment to the Murray River. Citrus fruits such as the orange, mandarin, lemon and grapefruit are the main crops grown in this area. Orchards can be visited in Waikerie, situated on the banks of The Murray, this is the first large town you would pass through if traveling from Adelaide. From here, the river then continues its course directly south through quiet country towns, meeting with the ocean inlet of Lake Alexandria and Lake Albert. 

Towards the horizon you can view the magnificent stretch of land known as The Coorong or "Kurangh" meaning narrow neck. The all time Australian Film "Storm Boy" was filmed here and explored this slice of paradise with a little boy and his pelican friend Mr Percibal.
