New South Wales Riverina

The Riverina comprises the southern and south western region of New South Wales heading west along the Murray River which forms the border with Victoria.

This is an area of paddlewheel steamers, river gums, fertile pastures, thick forests, historic villages, vineyards, wineries and prosperous farming communities.

Activities include canoeing, white water rafting, water skiing, fishing, golf, cycling, bushwalking and cellar door visits.
