Murray River Queen
A grand old riverboat moored at Waikerie, a reminder of the Murray's paddle-steamer heyday.
The Murray River Queen began life as a passenger riverboat in the 1970s, cruising the lower Murray in the golden age of river holidays. Now moored at Waikerie, the distinctive three-deck vessel is a landmark on the riverfront and a photogenic slice of the river's tourism history.
Waikerie itself sits beneath dramatic limestone cliffs on a sweeping bend, and the riverfront precinct around the Queen is a fine spot to take in the scale of the Murray. Combine a look at the boat with a wander along the foreshore and a coffee in town.
