Fishing & cruises

Lake Mulwala is one of Australia’s premier fishing spots for native Murray cod, and you can also hire a 12-person 'Barby Boat' complete with a barbecue, sound system and leather lounge.

For more H20 action, captain the sleek River of Islands houseboat and glide along the magnificent Murray River. Another way to experience the spectacular beauty of the area is on the paddle-steamer PS Cumberoona or riverboat MV Paradise Queen.
