As the fourth largest
river system in the world, the Murray River carries
a special significance for Australians. Originating high in the
Snowy Mountains
it meanders its way along a 2,600km course to the sea. Since the
late 19th
century when paddlesteamers first plied the waters, The Murray has
been the
lifeline for many inland farming communities, not to mention the
abundance
of diverse and uniquely Australian plants and animals.
Being on a houseboat
allows you the choice of enjoying the river enironment
and all its water activities as well as the many things to see and
do on land
The historic Port of Echuca, home to the Dinky-Di fleet, provides an
insight
into life in the early 1900s when Echuca was the largest inland port
in Australia.
Houseboating is about
living life to the full, whether you're longing for a
weekend escape, indulging in a feast of fine local food and wine whilst
relaxing in your own private stretch of river, or joining with friends for
a
week of waterskiing, swimming, golf or partying all night.
Perhaps the greatest
luxury of all is the choice to do whatever you like
whenever you like!
