Just three and a half hours north-west of Melbrourne and five and a half hours from Adelaide, the Swan Hill region is renowned for its Murray River location, fresh local produce, epic landscapes, Australian native wildlife and Aboriginal heritage.
The region runs alongside the majestic Murray river for nearly 200 kilometres and features changing landscapes, thriving farms, and historic townships like Lake Boga, Nyah/Nyah West, Woorinen and the regional centre of Robinvale.
The original custodians of the lands are the Latji Latji, Wemba Wemba, Barapa Barapa and the Wadi Wadi Nations. Their strong cultural connection to the land, and their contribution to our diverse community, continues to this day.
With more sunny days per year than the Gold Coast, and a temperature that averages 23 degrees, the Swan Hill Region is a natural choice for lovers of sunshine, good food and wine, and many outdoor and water activities to keep you busy – no matter the season.
People have been lured to the Murray River in the Swan Hill region for thousands of years, trying their luck, feeding their communities, just relaxing – but all the time hoping to land a famed Murray cod. These days, you don’t have to be fishing for sustenance or prize money to experience the serene pleasure of spending a day or two in natural surrounds along this magnificent stretch of river.
