Spending time on the beaches along the Murray River can be not only a relaxing adventure but a safe one too. Mildura, the region that surrounds the river, is the home of Australia's only inland Lifesaving Club, a group that patrols the waters off the white sands of Apex Beach. Locum doctors in Australia can see flora and fauna along the Murray River that they may not see at the nation's more traditional ocean beaches.
Murray River is the third longest navigable river in the world, spanning through three states: Victoria, New South Wales and South Australia. Formerly an aquatic highway for natives in the mid-19th century, the river was essential to the early trade commerce of the country.
Today, residents and visitors enjoy the recreational activities that the river provides, such as riding along in paddleboats and canoeing or kayaking down the calm waters. You'll find yourself a serene day's worth of leisure when you rent a kayak and discover the backwaters, creeks and lagoons of Murray.
As you pass the riverbanks, you'll witness native wildlife including kangaroos, emus, koalas and more. To make the trip even more enlightening, you can sign up for a guided tour, where an expert will lead you on an informative trek down river.
