Step back in time

Explore the fascinating exhibits, take a leisurely ride through the township on our horse and carriage or vintage car, visit the blacksmith, print shop, working machinery exhibits and many other faithfully restored displays — there’s so much to see and do.

Relax at the Paragon Cafe with wonderful views of our historic main street.

Step into a bygone era and savour barista-brewed coffee with an indulgent house-baked pastry, or take a break for lunch and enjoy traditional favourites alongside a modern menu — from fish and chips to a lentil dahl. For details, visit www.paragoncafesh.com.au

By the river, it’s all aboard for a leisurely river cruise

A cruise on the historic Pyap paddle steamer is a memorable experience.

The Pyap departs from Horseshoe Bend Wharf daily, cruising along the Murray past Murray Downs Marina and the historic Murray Downs Homestead.

Take in the natural beauty and sounds of the Murray — a memory for a lifetime.

By night, experience the Murray River laser light spectaculars.

Parnbandilla, in the local Wamba Wamba language, means “to shine in many colours”, and is the collective name for our two laser light spectaculars — Heartbeat of the Murray and Legends of the Mallee — showing on alternate nights.

Heartbeat of the Murray: Tuesday, Thursday, Saturday

An award-winning, world-class multimedia spectacular.

An exhilarating display that takes you through the ages to experience the Murray River’s amazing story from the prehistoric era to the present day.

Legends of the Mallee: Monday, Wednesday, Friday, Sunday

An immersive journey through the Mallee’s past, present and future. Indigenous insights are intertwined with European explorers’ tales, and Lake Boga’s wartime significance. An unmissable experience
