Renmark South Australia
Renmark, located on the Murray River, is a prosperous town in the heart of rich Riverland area where limes, olives, apricots, grapes, plums, garlic and oranges are all grown. Like so many towns in the area Renmark is characterised by wide streets and handsome riverbank parklands. This is a town where it is possible to enjoy the majesty of the Murray by hiring a bicycle and cycling along the riverbank; hiring a canoe or kayak and paddling along the river; or visiting the historic boats – the PS Industry and Argo Barge – moored at the river’s edge.
The first houseboats launched on the Murray River in 1961, Liba Liba, Houseboats are one of the several houseboat fleets based in Renmark, making it easy to hire a floating palace and explore this section of the river by boat.
If your looking to get active on the water pedal boats, dinghies, canoes and kayaks are all available for hire but if you’re after a ski boat and equipment it’s always best to bring your own.
The Renmark Riverfront Caravan Park and the Renmark Riverbend Caravan Park are popular family waterskiing resorts in summer and perfect locations for peaceful holidays all year round.
Take in a movie or a live performance at the celebrated Chaffey Theatre while enjoying your stay, or ride on the historic paddle-steamer PS Industry when it fires up on the first Sunday of each month and schedules unique day trips upstream to Wilkadene Woolshed Brewery.
The five-kilometre Renmark Riverfront Town Heritage Walk, also suitable to cycle, interprets historical information about the town and Murray River. This passes the beautiful riverfront esplanade where at dusk a family of possums emerge. There is a number of other walking and bike trails available in the area, with one taking you across the historic Paringa bridge.
