Goolwa, South Australia, sits at the mouth of the Murray River where it meets Lake Alexandrina. Established in the 1850s as a river port, it played a key role in the paddle-steamer era. Today it’s known for its working port, historic architecture and relaxed riverfront lifestyle. Visitors enjoy boating, fishing and walking along the Hindmarsh Island footbridge. A short drive to the Southern Ocean brings surf and sand dunes. Goolwa offers heritage charm and natural beauty without pretence.
