Darling and Murray River Junction and Viewing Tower

The junction of Australia's two longest rivers, the Murray and the Darling - an iconic Australian 'must-see'!

Climb the viewing tower and see the confluence of the Murray and Darling Rivers, which, combined, is the fourth largest river system in the world. When the Darling is in flow, a surprise awaits - as the two rivers are marked by a distinct colour difference visible from the tower. The Darling is a clay-based river; its milky appearance contrasts starkly to that of the mighty Murray. Truly one of Australia's iconic 'must-see' attractions.

You can climb up the steel spiral staircase, opened in 1991, it has 35 steps leading to a viewing platform which gives you a great view of the confluence of the majestic Darling & Murray rivers. Take a stroll along the walking track, take advantage of the facilities on offer for a barbecue or picnic or read up on the history of the Darling River in the pictorial informational gazebo.

There is a playground for the kids to wear out some energy whilst you enjoy the tranquility of the region.
