Riverland and Murrayland

The Riverland is a two-hour drive east of Adelaide and includes approximately 300 kilometres of the great Murray River. The landscape is flat and seems to go for as far as the eye can see!!! If it's wide open spaces you're after - then this spot's for you.

The Murraylands is a little further south of the Riverland - where the Murray River also dominates much of this region and incorporates the vast Murray Mallee farming region to the east, reaching right to the Victorian border and sprawling south to the Dukes Highway. Bucket loads of wildlife and a pretty laid back lifestyle is what you'll find.
