Holder Bend Reserve
Riverside camping and walking reserve under the Waikerie cliffs, rich in birdlife.
Holder Bend sits just downstream of Waikerie where the river curls beneath the cliffs the town is known for. It's a popular riverside reserve for camping, canoeing and walking, with the cliffs as a constant backdrop.
The birdlife is the quiet headline — this reach is part of the country that makes the Riverland one of the best inland birding regions in the state. Regent parrots, a threatened species, nest in the river red gums here.
Mornings are the time to come: mist off the water, the cliffs warming, and the dawn chorus rolling down the river.
