The Lower Murray

The lower reaches of the Murray River wind their way through a picturesque landscape, shaping the character of the towns and cities that line its banks. From the charming town of Mannum, renowned for its historic riverboats and scenic river red gums, the river flows south, passing through the historic town of Murray Bridge.

Murray Bridge, a vibrant river town, is known for its iconic railway bridge, which offers stunning views of the river and its surroundings. The town's waterfront precinct is a popular spot for leisurely walks, fishing, and dining. As you explore the town, you'll discover historic buildings, charming shops, and a relaxed country atmosphere.

As the river continues its journey, it broadens into the vast expanse of Lake Alexandrina, a significant wetland ecosystem that supports a diverse range of birdlife. The lake's serene waters offer opportunities for boating, fishing, and simply relaxing by the shore. The towns of Milang, Clayton Bay, and Raukkan are nestled along the shores of Lake Alexandrina, offering a tranquil escape and a glimpse into the region's rich history.
