As the River Murray ambles downstream through the Riverland region, it visits wetlands teeming with wildlife, vineyards, orchards and quiet yet vibrant riverside townships.

The Riverland region with its year-round sunshine is regarded as a favourite holiday spot for South Australians and a preferred touring route for the long distance traveller.

There is so much to see and do in the Riverland and everyone's taste is provided for. Water activities are popular and accessible, and the golf and bowls enthusiasts are well catered for. The less active can enjoy lazy days on the river bank watching the distinctive river birds, walking through the national parks, exploring museums, galleries, wineries and antique shops which all make up the fabric of the Riverland.

The Riverland is a region famous for its production of great, affordable wines and Australia's best citrus, stonefruits and nuts. As a result of this notoriety, the region's numerous award winning restaurants have included the local produce into many of their menus. From luxurious silver service to a wondereful outback bush restaurant, there is something for every occasion.

Juice, fresh fruit and various other local produce can be purchased from factory outlets or roadside stalls.
