Golden summers

Whether it's a family holiday, a buddy road trip or a romantic getaway with that special someone, the sun-kissed Murray region has what you're looking for.  

Get outdoors and enjoy everything from swimming, fishing and boating to golf, waterskiing and canoeing. Play a round on acclaimed riverside golf courses, wander the striking landscapes of Mungo and Hattah-Kulkyne national parks, or ride in a canoe across serene lakes and lush wetlands.
