10 - 17 Oct 2008 The Murray River is one of the longest navigable rivers in the world, stretching 2,700 kilometres from the mountains of the Great Dividing Range in north-eastern Victoria to journey's end near Adelaide in South Australia. The Murray region is home to lakes and rivers, sand dunes and desert, stands of red gum forest, spectacular sunsets and ancient aboriginal history.



Kayak down the Murray

 The river offers excellent flat water canoeing experiences with no rapids or white wat. At the resort, James enjoyed the indoor heated pool and swam everyday Debbie, John, Becky and Lionel spent a morning kayaking down the Murray Riverer. We hired two kayaks from a local operator and explored the river, paddling calm waters beneath red gums and stopping at shady riverside clearings for a bushland picnic or spot of fishing. At the same time Pat and Lionel had 2 rounds of golf at the Yarrawonga and Border Golf Club

Yarrawonga-Mulwalla combines a magnificent sunny climate, recreational facilities & home comforts...

Wineries Tour Break

Rutherglen is the town famous for the wineries around it. The first planting of grapes for wine occurred in the 1850s. Spring is not a time of harvest, yet the green scenery, clean air and clean rivers make the valley a perfect backdrop for an inspirational food and wine tasting. That was exactly what Pat, Becky and I did. The three of us tasted and bought the wines at Buller, Campbell and the Stanton and Killeen wineries. We ate a sumptuous lunch at the All Saints winery. We found that the vineyards would serve delicious meal and we returned with the Giffords for a meal at the Pepper Sisters
