The dramatic limestone river cliffs that rise behind Waikerie, best seen from the riverfront, ferry and clifftop walks.
Waikerie sits beneath a wall of ochre and cream limestone cliffs that drop to the Murray — among the most striking river scenery in the Riverland. The cliffs glow in the morning and evening light and are home to nesting birds and soaring raptors that share the thermals with the town’s famous gliders. Take them in from the riverfront, from the free cable ferry that crosses here, or from the walking tracks that trace the top of the bluff. They’re a reminder of the geological story the river has carved over millennia.
