Goolwa 

Goolwa, an aboriginal word meaning elbow, is a town at the mouth of the River Murray.  Full of early South Australian history, Goolwa offers the day tripper, the holiday maker or the resident many opportunities.  Only an hours drive south from Adelaide on the Fleurieu Peninsula, it is the small thriving township that witnesses where Australia's longest river system, the Murray, enters the sea.

It is here you can go back to the early days of pioneers who used paddle steamers to carry their farm produce from inland areas of New South Wales, Victoria and South Australia, to be then loaded onto railway carriages to be carried to Port Elliot by rail for loading onto wooden sailing ships for delivery around Australia and the world.  You will also find located at Goolwa, Signal Point, an information and display centre of the exploits of both Aboriginal Australians and early European settlements in the region. 

If you are an aquatic person, the area offers both sea and lake facilities from surfing, sailing, water skiing, swimming, and splendid walks on usually clean sand, with fishing and cockling when in season.  Several shops offer hiring facilities for both aquatic equipment and clothing

For those who like fine dining or bistro style meals, numerous cafe and restaurants can be found in the area with wineries offering tastings and meals as well.

For the golfer, South Lakes Golf Course is considered one of the finest in South Australia. Other courses are also available in the area. 

If you believe you should spoil yourself once in a while, then come and experience Goolwa,  and its surrounding area. Hop on the Cockle Train to Victor Harbor or enjoy a paddle steamer ride along the Murray or just come to see the new bridge and then enjoy the fine cuisine. We are open 7 days a week, so come and visit us.
