Markets on The Murray

Posted on Mar 26, 2010 by merran in General

I just had a look at the calendar of events and see that this weekend there are two great markets on for those visiting the region. On Saturday there is the Cobram market where you can buy all sorts of fare from plants to clothes and local food and wine. Mick Grillo from KNM Berries is a regular at this market and he has the most divine plums and strawberries so pick some up if he is there.

The Yarrawonga Farmers Market is on Sunday and you will find many of the shops open in Yarrawonga to support the market too.

This weekend should be great one for a kayak or canoe on the Murray or through the Barmah Forest. We had a group of journalists up this week and they had a lovely time kayaking in the everglade region of Lake Mulwala.

Autumn is here

Posted on Mar 23, 2010 by merran in General

From: The Tourism Manager:

I went for a run along the shores of Lake Mulwala today. It is mid week but there are still people about enjoying the most delightful Autumn days. The cruise boats were out on the Lake and the yummy BBQ smells made it hard for me to push on with my run. March really is a wonderful time of year on the Murray River.

Easter is fast approaching and planning for the River beaches Festival in Cobram is in full swing. This is now a regular event on the annual calendar and takes place on Thompsons Beach on Easter Sunday from lunchtime onwards. The little yellow ducks will jump off the old bridge and race their way down the River at 3pm. Bring the family for a great afternoon out with all manner of entertainment including dragon boats on the Murray.
