The Murray Highlights
A host of attractions are scattered throughout this region, and as you'll quickly discover it is easy to be gripped by the historical Murray River.
Taking a tranquil paddle steamer ride is a quintessential Murray experience. Head to Echuca-Moama – the historical Port of Echuca continues to bustle with paddle steamers dominating the waterways. Yarrawonga-Mulwala, Mildura and Swan Hill are also great launch points.
National parks and state forests in the Murray region suit strolls. Millewa Forest combines with Barmah National Park to form the world’s largest River Red gum forest. Or visit the Blowhole Reserve near Tocumwal to see a natural phenomenon.
Corowa is regarded as the Birthplace of Federation; a visit to the Corowa Federation Museum provides a thorough understanding of why. A wander around town presents a tangible reminder of the past by way of striking heritage buildings.
Travel back in time at Swan Hill’s Pioneer Settlement or soak up Mildura’s history along the Chaffey Trail. While you’re in this vibrant city, check out classic art deco buildings and the Mildura Arts Centre.
Structures don’t come more impressive than the historical Albury Railway Station, one of many grand old buildings in this thriving city. The Albury Library Museum also retraces the past and the Albury Regional Art Gallery is a leading cultural attraction.
The Murray region grows abundant delicious produce, which can be sampled from high-end restaurants to cafés and farmers markets. Wine also flows at a rapid rate. The Murray is home to several wine regions, including Goulburn Valley, Rutherglen, Echuca Moama, and Swan Hill.
