24.01.2022 We would like to share this footage taken yesterday when Max & Kris did a ‘sail past’ in their gorgeous paddle boat capturing them turning back before the Mannum ferry. Check out the river dog deckhand!

24.01.2022 Love this footage taken from yesterday afternoon’s Mayflower cruise. Just got back in the nick of time before the down pour! Compliments from a lady that celebrated her 93rd birthday today onboard!

23.01.2022 Fourteen working bees carried out a variety of tasks yesterday including replacing timber on the Marion (see photo) and cutting timber for the new fence posts s...urrounding the Mayflower boarding platform and revamping the crew wet area. Leon continues to work on restoring the forward lounge / bar area that needed a lot if attention and preparation prior to painting (see photos). Thanks to everyone: Leon, David, Rod, Jeff, Di, Hardy, Frank, Trevor, Neil, Ken, Terry, Matthew, John and Max for their fantastic efforts to get the Marion ready for the last Rockford cruise this weekend and Steaming days 21st & 22nd of November! #murrayriver #mannumdock #riverhistory #rivercruise #seesouthaustralia @murrayriverlakesandcoorong See more

23.01.2022 Today’s working bees did more work on the posts to replace the temporary fencing surrounding the PW Mayflower. Check out Hardy stripping the wood back for a coat of Tung oil. More photos to be posted on PS Marion’s Facebook page tomorrow!

23.01.2022 Despite the inclement weather, yesterday's working bee attracted 20 working bees! This certainly kept David on his toes coordinating work for them all, which h...e did admirably with the dining room getting much needed attention. Leon has also been busy clocking up extra days to complete 3 coats of paint in the top deck former smoking lounge...certainly looks great. More photos next week! Thanks to: David, Gordon, Di, Wally, Derek, Neil, Jim, Rod, Terry, Frank, Jeff, Ken, Gloria, Max, Max (new volunteer), Matthew, Steven, Hardy and John! #murrayriver #mannumdock #riverhistory #rivercruise #seesouthaustralia @murrayriverlakesandcoorong See more

21.01.2022 Did you know that Mannum is the birth place of the paddle steamer? Did you know that the PW Mayflower is the oldest paddle boat operating on the Murray River in... South Australia? Did you know that the PS Marion built in 1897 is one of the last operational, heritage, steam driven, wood fired, overnight, passenger carrying side paddle steamer in the world? Visit Mannum and the Mannum Dock Museum of River History and our volunteers and staff will be able to help you. #murrayriverlakescoorong #ExploreSA #WelcomeBackSA #woodenboats #paddlesteamer #history See more

13.01.2022 About International Dark Skies The International Dark-Sky Association (IDA) is the world’s leading dark sky organisation which accredits six types of designatio...ns based on their level of darkness. The award winning International Dark Sky Places (IDSP) Program was founded in 2001 to protect and preserve places with dark, unpolluted night skies. There are only 15 Dark Sky Reserves in the world and the River Murray International Dark Sky Reserve is one of them! A dark sky reserve consists of a core zone meeting minimum criteria for the sky quality and natural darkness. This zone is surrounded by a buffer zone with light policy controls enacted to protect the darkness at the core. Our core site is the Swan Reach Conservation Park a area of 2,000 hectares of untouched Mallee bushland - it is home to exceptional starry nights and nocturnal life. #darkskyinternationalreserve #murrayriverholidays #southaustraliapride #murrayriverlakesandcoorong #midmurraycouncil See more

13.01.2022 Mid Murray Council is currently working through changes which may occur to our programs and facilities as a result of the recent COVID-19 outbreak in South Australia. Further information will be provided as the situation evolves.

12.01.2022 Who remembers the Observer's Nest at the Mary Ann Reserve or the 'Rec' as it was known? This was used mainly when rowing races were held at Mannum. The fact that it looks like a fantastic tree house and the allure to climb would have been the reason it was taken down? #rowing #murrayriver #mightygums #recreationground #murrayriverlakesandcoorong #exploreyourbackyard #localhistory

09.01.2022 Could this be the same Mannum Women's Rowing Team? The photos were taken C1918. They don't look happy to be off the water, they certainly have smiles in the boat! #history #nohurryonthemurray #rowing #murrayriverlakesandcoorong #exploreyourbackyard

08.01.2022 Before Shearers donated the sporting area now known as the Mannum Bowling Club, lawn bowls was played in a competitive fashion at Esmerelda House. Unfortunately, Esmerelda built by Captain Arnold is no longer on top of the hill where it was proudly built and has been gone since 2010! #murrayriver #history #murrayriverhistory #mannum #Captainarnold #localssupportinglocal
