Goolwa is where the first railway line in South
Australia was built, to carry produce from large ships that were
unable to travel along the river to Goolwa. You can find out more
about the shipping town in the museum and the Signal Point River
Murray Interpretive Centre. Heading east from Goolwa is the beautiful
beach of the Sir Richard Peninsula. However the only access to
Coorong Beach at the eastern tip of Sir Richard Peninsula is by
boat.
There are also boat trips to Hindmarsh Island
as well as along the Lower Murray River, which make a pleasant
day out as well as a number of other attractions.
There is a full range of accommodation in
Goolwa, and it really is a lovely place to stay. However,
it also makes a great day trip from Adelaide,
with Premier Stateliner offering bus services everyday. You can also get on the pretty Steam Ranger from
Mt. Barker which travels to Victor
Harbor passing through Strathalbyn and Goolwa on the
way.
PLEASE NOTE: The South Australia travel destinations outlined above are only a small selection from the tens of thousands of Australian travel information pages available on Australian Explorer.
