Murray Waters

The combination of mild winters and warm summers makes Goulburn Murray Country an ideal getaway destination all year round. A place "where all the rivers run" is a fitting description for a region that hosts a myriad of inland waterways including the mighty Murray and Goulbourn Rivers, providing a haven for those who enjoy a multitude of water activities and adventures.

Cruise the Mighty Murray on a paddle steamer, hire a houseboat in Echuca, water ski in rivers and lakes throughout the region or discover the unique experience of lying on sandy beaches along stretches of the Murray under the shade of a tall River Gums.

If golfing is your passion, tee off on some of Australia's finest courses, such as the Rich River Golf Club Resort's 36 magnificent holes

This river was once known to the Koories as the 'Long River' and today this river waters and nourishes thousands of fruit growing hectares in the Goulburn Valley, which produces 80% of Australia's canned fruits like pears, apricots and peaches.
