Goolwa Things to Do

Signal Point is where the River Murray Visitors Centre is located. It is labelled as the National Exhibition Centre for the Murray Darling Rivers.

It has a number of different features to inform, by entertaining, most members of the family. For example a 25 screen video wall with different shows screeing continuously. You can do such things as take any of six trips with explorers using this. There is a great touch screen presentation of the birds, animals and reptiles of this river system. You can learn about the dreamtime legends that relate to the rivers and also the riverboat days in the signal mast theatre. This is fascinating because just as with the Mighty Mississippi, steam driven paddlers plied the river system on Australia's most imprtant trade route. But, my favourite bit was the restored Oscar "W" paddlesteamer moored outside. Just great! The cuppa in Signal Point's Cafe wasn't too bad either.
