Discover Murray River has presented here to you Australia's Murray River journey based on the ever changing landscapes or the river system. It's no doubt that the Murray River is one of the world's leading and most recognised houseboat destinations and offers visitors everythin
g possible for a great Australia escape.

One of the best things about a Murray River houseboat holiday is it's accessibility to Melbourne, Victoria and Adelaide, South Australia. Within 1 hour of Adelaide you can be on the back of your boat, with a cold drink, ready to kick back and relax or just 2.5 hours from Melbourne. If you've got a bit of time to travel, the really unique riverscapes and solitude are in the remote areas away from the close city river based towns, you'll just need to go a bit further to get the river to yourself.
