From Goolwa: Murray Mouth Cruise

Cruise down to the Goolwa Barrage, through the lock, and down to the mouth of the Murray River. View the entrance to the Southern Ocean for Australia's longest river system before cruising back to Goolwa.

Cruise downstream from the port of Goolwa along the historic wharf & towards the Goolwa Barrage. Travel through the lock chamber, down to sea level and spot a few lazy fur-seals lounging about. We then meander along the waterways of the Coorong, following the last kilometres of the mighty Murray River to the Murray Mouth and the its opening to the Southern Ocean.

Beautiful scenery, bird-life, seals and expert commentary along the way - this short 90-minute cruise is the perfect introduction to the Coorong and region.

Learn about the history of the lock and it's importance to the health of the river before continuing down toward the mouth of the Murray River. Take in the ambiance of the region that inspired the book, Storm Boy on your way there. On your return cruise to Goolwa, you will pass sand dunes supporting native vegetation and see an abundance wetland bird-life.
