To stay on Troubridge Island is a privilege. Accomodation is in the old lighthouse keepers cottage, clean and simple. The island is a sand island, it takes under an hour at high tide to walk around. Birdwatching, fishing, sleeping and reading are the main pastimes. Very safe for children, shallow sandy beach. You are the only people on the island, clearly no shops, pack wisely. Love this place.

Situated on a gentle bend in the mighty River Murray, the Special Place for Jimmy James, a noted Aboriginal tracker, is very well realised utilising Indigenous art and modern design. It has an attraction that is strangely reflective yet bounds with life. Incorporated into the design are signs naturally a part of the “rocks” that a tracker would be looking for whilst searching. Finding them was a surprise for me and deepened my appreciation of the Special Place. This was a brilliant touch to incorporate an activity into the site and lifted the Special Place into the superb. Plaques are scattered through the area with acknowledgements of Jimmy James from people with whom he had contact over the years including from one whom he had rescued through tracking. As a visitor to the area, it was a highlight of the trip. To me the secret is to take time at A Special Place for Jimmy James and soak in the atmosphere. Return? Most definitely when next in Berri.

As a child my wife came here every year with her family. When our children were growing up we would always visit here to play on the beach. These days my wife and I always visit to enjoy the big waves! Green Bay is a sandy beach at the end of a narrow inlet bounded by large granite rock formations. There is a good access path around the Bay and a little climb down to the beach. On a fine day it is a great place for small children to play. On a stormy day the waves roll in sending up clouds of spray, making a fine spectacle. To get there you can park the car nearby on The Esplanade, or walk around the coastal path from Horseshoe Bay or Boomer Beach. Green Bay is worth seeing in any of its moods.

Interesting walk from the city to the river down Kintore Avenue close to the wall of Government House. Panels alongside the walk are polished black stone with images of Australian servicemen and women who lost their lives in war. It's a quiet, peaceful and reflective experience.

Very well signed, good quality track, very interesting waystops. Get the brochure from the information centre in town. Highly recommended walk, you can do a half day or an hour or anything in between, up to you. We had a very windy day but the views were magnificent.
