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.
Visit nearby Jerilderie, scene of some of the exploits of the famous bushranger, Ned Kelly.
Albury-Wodonga - Albury sits on the New South Wales side of the Murray River and Wodongo is on the Victorian side. A good base for linking to the high country skiing in winter, white-water rafting and canoeing. Nearby wineries and historic gold mining towns. Major Australian artists at the Albury Regional Art Centre. Colourful characters at the Ettamogah pub. Ride the paddlewheel steamer.
Moama-Echuca - another case of two towns on opposite sides of the Murray River.
Echuca
on the Victorian side is the better known for its preserved original wharf and public
buildings. Moama boasts the Rich River Country club and its well known golf course. Deniliquin - home of superfine Merino wool and a large rice growing centre. The largest rice mill in the southern hemisphere. The Peppin Heritage Centre and the Island Sanctuary to meet some locals. The birdlife at the Gannawarra Wetlands at nearby Barham. Wentworth - and old port town at the meeting point of the Murray and Darling Rivers. Along with its nearby Victorian neighbour, Mildura, is a jumping off point for heading up into the far west area from the south. Riverboat cruises and an historic site at the Wentworth Gaol. |
