World Recognition.
The mighty Murray River is worthy of world recognition. It has been named on the National Geographic’s “Best of the World 2025” list along with the Amazon River and the Nile River as the top three navigable rivers in the world.
Winding its way along the New South Wales and Victorian border for some 2,500 kilometres before heading into South Australia, the Murray River is Australia’s longest river. It has sustained the land, communities, and Traditional Owners along its shores for more than 40,000 years.
The Murray River is already home to the world’s largest fleet of paddle steamers. In June 2025, the Murray River Paddlesteamer’s will debut their most luxurious boat yet, the PS Australian Star. Setting off from Echuca, it will not only be the largest paddle steamer in the Southern Hemisphere but also the world’s only wood-fired, five-star, accommodated paddle steamer.
