The Murray. Always Eventful

On a relaxing and unhurried holiday along the iconic Murray River, the natural border between New South Wales and Victoria, you’ll discover a river of fun at any time of the year.

There are music festivals, dancing and busking festivals, steam festivals and country horse racing. There are also some of the quirkiest events in the State where you can cheer on yabbies in the Great Australian Spring Carnival Corowa. Be part of the annual ute muster at Deniliquin. Along the Murray you’ll see 600-year-old red river gums, heritage buildings and lively arts culture at Albury-Wodonga and the world’s largest riverboat fleet at Echuca-Moama.

Base your self in Balranald, the gateway to Mungo National Park and part of the World Heritage-listed Willandra Lakes, or head to Wentworth where you can launch yourself on the river in a luxury houseboat, paddle steamer or canoe.
