25.01.2022 The Riverland Cruising Boat Club will be visiting Morgan over the weekend of 25th - 27th September. Call down to the river front and see the visiting vessels.

24.01.2022 With extensive lawned riverfront and a heritage built railway station precinct including the heritage listed Station Master’s House and Morgan Wharf, the townsh...ip has many stories to tell from the golden days of river trade on the Murray. Walk on down the river front and you will see the original Station Master’s House, Ticket Office and Tearooms and you can immerse yourself back to the bustling days of romantic rail travel. The Morgan Heritage Tourism precinct takes you back to the years of old and the Morgan Wharf is now home to the PS Canally being lovingly restored by the people of Morgan and PS Canally . See the riverside morgue and the old power magazine and take a stroll up to the Billy Goat Hill lookout offering extensive Murray River views and take a ride on the free 24 hour ferry!

22.01.2022 From 1888 up until 1997 when Morgan became part of the Mid Murray Council, Morgan had its own identity as a council area, known as the Morgan District Council During the 1980’s the local community was approach to be involved in creating an emblem for the Council. The emblem above was designed by the then, local Police Officer, Dennis Edwards. The emblem depicts what was thought to be the 5 of the major industries within the Morgan district at that time. The ram’s head represented the sheep and wool industry, Oranges and grapes the food and wine industry. The Paddle wheel and steering wheel, the shipping and paddle boat era. The Drive Wheel and cable represented the Highways Department dockyard and ferry. The hydrant and pipeline signified the Morgan Whyalla pipeline.

22.01.2022 STEAM WEEKEND - POSTPONEMENT - 21-22 NOVEMBER 2020 We regret to announce that the Blacksmith, Steam and Cruise Weekend planned for 21-22 November has been postponed.

17.01.2022 On Wednesday 23rd September, the Port of Morgan MMC volunteers enjoyed a sausage sizzle luncheon in the historic Pendle’s Tea Rooms. Around 25 of our valued and hard-working volunteers were thanked by Mayor Dave Burgess and CEO Ben Scales, for their continued efforts and hard work and assistance with ongoing projects. ... Without the ongoing support of this amazing group, Morgan would not be able to boast of the broad range of projects that have been completed and the projects that are still underway, including the restoration of the PS Canally. This group is responsible for ensuring that the Landseer Museum, Old wharf Craft Shop and VIO continue to open on a daily basis, thus ensuring that Morgan has a range of options for our locals and visitors to enjoy. A sincere thankyou is extended to each and every one of our valued volunteers. For more information in becoming a volunteer contact the Morgan Visitor Information Centre or by phoning 0447 495 138.
