Forged over 26 million years by the primal forces of the ocean and the movement of tectonic plates, the Limestone Coast has been perfectly sculpted into a natural holiday playground.

The result, Picturesque port towns such as Kingston SE, Robe and Beachport, where watersports are the order of the day. Impressive volcanic craters and mountain lakes, such as the Blue Lake at Mount Gambier. And the spectacular caving sites at Naracoorte Caves.
These same natural forces created the Coorong National Park, with its sandy coast and lagoons. They also created the 'terra rossa' soils at Coonawarra, which provide the ideal environment for producing world class wines.

It may have taken 26 million years to create the Limestone Coast. But good things are worth the wait.

There's nothing that quite compares to a holiday on a houseboat, cruising up and down the river at your leisure in your own floating hotel.

The towns of the Murraylands have a relaxed, casual feel - the ideal place to spend a lazy afternoon in the sun after a day of water sports or fishing. And of course, there are plenty of opportunities to go bush walking, or enjoy an old-fashioned singalong by the fire at a camping site.

It's a big river -and a big playground. So, why not come out and play?

Riverland

The Riverland is seriously fresh.

It's a place where citrus fruits and stone fruits are grown in lush fields, where the mighty Murray River courses through deep limestone canyons, where world class wines are grown alongside wetlands filled with wildlife.

There's fresh fish, fresh food, and the fresh spray of river water as you water-ski behind a jet boat.

Even the simple pleasure of sitting on the banks of the river with a fishing line and a cold drink is something refreshing.

Perhaps it's the flowing river. Perhaps it's the colourful limestone cliffs, or the way the trees spread out along the banks of the Murray. Perhaps it's a bit of everything.

But one thing is certain - everything about the Riverland reinvigorates your senses, leaving you feeling fresh too.
