metteks Says: The Pioneer Settlement Museum has recreated life in the Murray-Mallee area from the period of 1830-1930. They have saved and restored over fifty historic buildings and other major exhibits and created a unique total experience. A special thing to do at the settlement is to...
Kate-Me Says: In its heyday last century, the Gem was the largest paddlesteamer to ply its trade up and down the huge length of the Murray river. Now it sits berthed, in quite a bad state of disrepair, waiting to be restored, a project which appears to be underway and will cost $300,000,...
Kate-Me Says: The Swan Hill Pioneer Village is said to have been Australia's first open air museum, built in the 1960's to represent the time a century before, with wooden huts and other buildings within a reconstructed pioneer township (also with sound and light show at night). This old...

Kate-Me Says: At this time of year, while it is warm but the heat of summer has not yet come (and probably water restrictions along with it) the lawns in the parks are still looking nice and lush.
Kate-Me Says: In Curlewis street, if you drive along near the brick water tower or towards the green grain silos, you will come to a nice part of the river which is particularly grassy and has a park area and gardens. You can also do a self guided walk along the river, in either small...
Kate-Me Says: This is the largest of several old water towers in the town, located close to the river to gravity feed water to the town.
Kate-Me Says: Fishing is also a very popular activity on the Murray River, particularly for the huge fish which can be caught (including the introduced European carp which is present in large numbers but unfortunately not good for much more than cat food). The Cod fish used to be more...
Kate-Me Says: The Murray River is a very central part to town life today and the life of the entire region, especially as its irrigation provides the water for the huge horticultural industry in the town and immediate region. In the past, the Murray was an important trade route for...
