Goolwa

Few towns in South Australia have a history as closely tied to Murray River trade as Goolwa. Set near where Australia’s longest river reaches Lake Alexandrina and the Southern Ocean, it occupies Ngarrindjeri Country at the edge of the Coorong’s lagoon-and-dune system. In the nineteenth century, Goolwa was an important river port for paddle steamers serving the Murray–Darling Basin; the surviving Goolwa Wharf recalls that commercial era. The town is linked with Hindmarsh Island by bridge, while the nearby Murray Mouth marks the meeting of river, lake and sea.
