Murray River, Lakes and Coorong
Immerse yourself in the culture, scenery, activities and flavours of South Australia’s aquatic playground: the Murray River, Lakes and Coorong. Relax on a houseboat holiday, splash out on the river, experience Indigenous culture and history and see wildlife up close. There are countless ways to pause or play in the Murray, Lakes and Coorong. The Murray River is the third longest navigable river in the world after the Amazon and Nile, flowing for 2,520 kilometres and is approximately 130-million years old. For thousands of years, the Ngarrindjeri and Nganguraku people have called the river system home. Named from the Aboriginal word ‘karangk’, meaning ‘narrow neck’, the Coorong stretches 130km along South Australia’s south-east coast from Kingston South East to the Murray Mouth. The region is famous for Coorong mullet and Angus beef, but dairy, olives and seasonal fruit and vegetables are also produced and grown. Walk the River Bend Heritage Trail between Tailem Bend and Wellington along the Murray River to see historic sites, beautiful scenery and wildlife.

More about the Murray River, Lakes and Coorong
South Australian Tourism Commission
Mike Haines
Monarto Zoo is a must-see and less than an hour from Adelaide. This huge, 1,500-hectare open range zoo features a diverse range of animals, including lions, giraffes, rhinos and cheetahs, and chimps to name a few. With more than 275 different plant species and 200 bird species spread across almost 47,000 hectares of stunning lagoons and saltpans, the Coorong is a popular place to fish, 4WD, canoe, hike, camp and birdwatch.
Experience the Murray River on a houseboat — a floating holiday home that can accommodate small or large groups. Many houseboats resemble five-star hotels with Jacuzzis, air conditioning, dishwashers, king-size beds and sun decks. You can even hire a private chef to cook for you. Costs and availability vary each season, so make sure you book in advance. You only need to be over 18 and have a driver’s license to become your own houseboat captain.
