pelicans and the legendary Murray Cod. Meandering along this peaceful river
is also a history lesson in itself. Uncover the secrets of the past in the
historic townships, museums and restored paddleboats that dot the river's
bank.
For those wishing to take in surrounding attractions, special day tours can
be arranged. You may wish to explore the Barossa Valley wine region or play
