The great Murray River runs for 300km through this vast outback region with boundless lakes, creeks, billabongs and a variety of wildlife you may never see together in any other region in Australia. Bearded Geckos sipping water from the Pink Lakes in Mallee, Red Kangaroos standing tall against a darkening afternoon sky or wild pelicans in flight over rocky outback terrain. This really is what Australia, is all about. 

Ride on a majestic paddle steamer, relax on a riverbank, sip locally made wines or handpick your own nectarines, almonds and olives. This region offers endless opportunities to laze around. Try camel riding, ballooning, fishing and water skiing or after a few days camping how about an icy cold beer with the locals down at the Pig & Whistle Hotel.

Across sand dunes and scrub and in the slightest whisper of a breeze, the mystery of the sacred dreamtime comes alive. Many tours in this area focus on the Aboriginal tribal culture and history and here you will find the site of the oldest Aboriginal civilization yet discovered.
