Australia's mightiest river, the Murray, stretches over 1700 miles from its source in the Snowy Mountains above Corryong to the sea at Encounter Bay.

The historic port of Echuca (left) was once the biggest and busiest port in Australia. Today it remains a working port for the paddle steamers that still navigate the waters of the Murray.

The region encompasses both lush farmlands and dry bush and offers a wide blend of natural attractions, food, wine and history.

Mungo National Park - over 40,000 Years of History

Now a vast, arid bowl with almost no trees, Lake Mungo was once teeming with fish and surrounded by lush vegetation.  The area was home to giant kangaroos, wombats and Tasmanian tigers.  The area is now a moonscape of carved sand dunes, hardened into spectacular crescent shaped walls of sand, such as the 33km long "Walls of China" (above right).  It is an archaeological site of world significance since ancient human remains were discovered in the late 1960's - a young woman, estimated to be 40,000 years old, who had been burnt and buried in the world's earliest known cremation ceremony.
