The Murray region is aptly named after the mighty Murray River, which spans an impressive 2,508km long, making it Australian’s longest river.

If staying on a houseboat isn’t your style, there are plenty of hotels and motels to recharge your batteries. For the caravan trekkers, there are some comfortable parks to stop for the night (or week).
