The Great Outdoors of NSW – Family Fun in the Riverina

Location

The Murrimbidgee River, the second-longest Aussie river, lies at the heart of the Riverina region, and runs all the way from Gundagai to Hay. The lifeblood of the area’s rich agricultural history, the banks of this peaceful river provide the perfect Great Outdoors setting for holidaying families. Self-drive or take a fabulous Countrylink rail journey to this amazing region, or hop aboard one of the daily Qantaslink and REX flights to Wagga Wagga from Sydney and Melbourne.
