Life on The Murray

The Murray River begins near Corryong in the Snowy Mountains. As it flows from the mountains, it passes through a large lake called Lake Hume, which is a popular place for water activities. It then goes through fertile land and acts as a border between states, dividing twin towns like Albury Wodonga, Corowa, and Rutherglen. During this stretch of about 400 kilometres, the riverbanks become shallow, and there are wetlands filled with birds, as well as wineries and farms. Murray East is a food lover’s paradise, offering tasty local produce such as lamb, honey, Murray cod, cherries, nuts, and preserves. The region boasts beautiful weather throughout the year, making it ideal for outdoor adventures with your family.
