Go back in time and uncover the rich history of the Murray River region, from ancient times to the era of the first European settlers. Wander through museums and historical recreations along the Murray, walking in the footsteps of the nineteenth century pioneers who lived and worked by the water.
Ancient cultures meet pioneers
Visit the Corowa Federation Museum for information on the birth of modern day Australia, and learn about the region's Indigenous heritage at Nathalia's Barmah Forest Heritage and Education Centre.
Spend a day at the Swan Hill Pioneer Settlement, an open air museum located on the banks of the Maraboor River (Little Murray). The settlement features functioning shops, tearooms, carriage rides and a chance to get the family dressed up in costume for a pioneer-style family photograph.
A true blue history
Discover quirky history at places like the Great Australian Beer Shed. A unique attraction featuring over 16,000 beer cans from Australia and around the world, the shed is the only museum of its kind in Australia. Rev heads will also want to check out the National Holden Museum in Echuca, a museum dedicated to preserving Holden models and rekindling fond memories of Australia's most iconic car.
