Enjoy the outback sky
There is truly nothing better than a Riverland sunrise and sunset! We recommend exploring the red-ochre cliffs at this time of day; they are a sight to behold. In additional to this, the ‘tortured’ trees of Lake Bonney are a perfect photo opportunity during these hours – so picturesque!

Be adventurous
If you’re after a thrill, look no further than the Riverland. Make sure to visit during the famous Dinghy Derby and experience Barmera’s Loveday 4×4 Adventure Park – an absolutely must-do!
If you’re looking for a different kind of adventure (e.g. a delicious culinary experience!), we recommend:
- Mallee Fowl Restaurant, an absolute must-do.
- Renmark Club
- Bella Lavender Estate (great wood oven pizzas!)
- Loxton Hotel (profits to back to local charities, projects and events!)
- Twenty Third Distillery (Delicious gin!)
- Wilkadene Woolshed Brewery (enjoy some boutique beer and cider, whilst indulging in local produce)
- Visit Flavours of the Riverland, and enjoy a regional food experience!
And, for the whole family, if you’re feeling like having an adventurous day out, we recommend Loxton Historical Village, Monash Adventure Park and Cape Jaffa Lighthouse, to name a few!
