Olivewood Historic Homestead and Museum

Reviewed By Essbeebee - Athelstone, Australia

Much more than a museum! Olivewood has built up into a superb display of all that is good in the Riverland from the original well preserved home of the Chaffey family. A large visitor centre equipped with many curios starts you off and you can then take in the extensive grounds that are immaculately maintained, equipment, tractors and all sorts of other great stuff. All maintained by a great group of local volunteers. Well worth a visit if in the Riverland.

Paringa Bridge

Reviewed By branham2016 - Adelaide, Australia

Travelling eastward from Renmark to Mildura and beyond, one must travel over the Paringa Bridge. The Bridge is unique and historically notable. Opened in 1927 as a rail-road bridge with separate road sections on either side of the rail added later. Rail was closed in 1982 and the centre lane converted to a shared pedestrian and cycle path. The four sectioned bridge has one which can be raised 9.1 metres in one and half minutes to enable river craft to pass under. The bridge has been listed on the South Australian Heritage Register. I always love crossing this bridge as it gives brilliant views of the Murray without another vehicle blocking the view. The red steel superstructure is striking and when approaching 9.30am and 2.30pm when a bridge section raises to ensure that it is working, there is always a rush of adrenaline that you may get stuck, have to wait and you just have to get over before the raising starts! The best views of the raising to enable craft to travel under the bridge are from the Bert Dix Memorial Park adjacent to Sturt Highway on the Paringa side of the river. Return? Yes when travelling in the area or travelling to the eastern states.
