The Mighty Murray, Australia's longest river and world number 15, has long been the lifeblood of the city of Adelaide. From its origins in the Great Dividing Range, this massive artery finally spills its contents into the Southern Ocean near Goolwa. The area is steeped in Aboriginal history and much can be learnt from Signal Point information centre at Goolwa. A trip on a Murray paddle-steamer seems almost obligatory and various options are available either here or further up river at Mannum. Impressive Goolwa Barrage across the Murray mouth is both educational and a great spot to watch pelicans feeding.
