DESTINATION: Pinnaroo
Pinnaroo is the first South Australian town to be encountered by travellers from New South Wales and Victoria using the Mallee Hwy. This little oasis in the middle of the Mallee owes its 'greenness' to the availability of good underground water that supports an olive plantation, mixed farming and potato growing. Other primary production in the region includes wheat, barley, poultry, sheep, pigs, lambs and beef cattle. Main AttractionsThe town offers excellent sporting facilities, a number of pleasant picnic spots and a small fauna park on the corner of South Tce and Mann St. Mallee Tourist and Heritage Centre brings together 4 museum collections; the Historical Museum; the Heritage Centre with printing machinery and equipment and a farm machinery collection; the Gum Family Collection of stationary engines; and the unusual DA Wurfel Cereal Collection, comprising over 1300 varieties of grain from around the world. |

Region: Murraylands
Australia's mighty Murray River winds its way through the heart of the Murraylands, carving out steep sandstone cliffs that turn deep orange at sunset; winding past giant red gums and weeping willows; and spilling its banks to create wide, wild lagoons. more
