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.

Erected in 1921 to honour their war dead this beautiful memorial sits in the well maintained park and is a fitting tribute to their service. The Remember the Anzacs flower hedge is a lovely touch, a very peaceful place to reflect.

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.

Spent a leisurely 1-2 hours walking the trail that leads to these stunning sculptures of Eyre and his Indigenous companion. If possible i recommend waking early and heading up at 10am, or skip the walk altogether and drive to see the sculptures instead!
